Audio lingualism

2. Definiton
Audio-lingualism is a method of foreign language
teaching where the emphasis is on learning
grammatical and phonological structure,
especially for speaking and listening. It is based
on behaviourism.

3. Structuralism
Linguistic signs were composed of two parts, a
signifier (thesound pattern of a word) and a
signified (the concept or meaning of the word).

4. Behaviorism
Behaviorism is a philosophy of psychology based
on the proposition that all things which
organisms do, including acting, thinking and
feeling can and should be regarded as behaviors.

5. Audiolingual method
The objective of the audiolingual method is
accurate pronunciation and grammar, the ability
to respond quickly and accurately in speech
situations and knowledge of sufficient
vocabulary to use with grammar patterns.

6. Some characteristics of the
method
• language learning is habit-formation,
• mistakes are bad and should be avoided
• language skills are learned more effectively if
they are presented orally first, then in
written form.

7. Activities-Note
• The main activities include reading aloud
dialogues, repetitions of model sentences, and
drilling. Key structures from the dialogue
serve as the basis for pattern drills of
different kinds.
• Not only are the students expected to
produce the correct output, but attention is
also paid to correct pronunciation.

9. • The PPP method could be characterized as a
common-sense approach to teaching as it
consists of 3 stages that most people who
have learnt how to do anything will be familiar
with.

10. • The first stage is the presentation of an
aspect of language in a context that students
are familiar with.

11. • The second stage is practice, where students
will be given an activity that gives them plenty
of opportunities to practice the new aspect of
language and become familiar with it whilst
receiving limited and appropriate assistance
from the teacher.

12. • The final stage is production where the
students will use the language in context, in
an activity set up by the teacher who will be
giving minimal assistance
