The Audio Lingual Method (ALM) was developed during World War II to quickly teach American soldiers foreign languages for military purposes. Known as the "Army Method", ALM combines structural linguistics, contrastive analysis, aural-oral training, and behaviorism. It focuses on intensive oral practice of language patterns through repetition and substitution drills to increase communication ability in a short time period. The learner plays a reactive role, responding to teacher-led stimuli, while the teacher maintains an active, central role in varying drills and tasks. ALM was first named by Professor Nelson Brooks in 1964.

combination of structural
linguistic theory, contrastive
analysis, aural-oral
procedures, and behaviorist

5. THE PURPOSE...The main purpose is
to increase the

class intensively.

6. TYPES OF LEARNING TEACHING
ACTIVITIES......

7. 1.Repetition
The student repeats an utterance aloud as
soon as he has heard it. Example: this is the
fifth month. –This is the fifth month
2.Inflection
One word in utterance appears in another
form when repeated. Example: I bought the
ticket. –I bought the tickets.

8. 3. Replacement. One word in an utterance is replaced by
another. Example: He bought this house cheap- He
bought it cheap.
4. Restatement. The student rephrases an utterance and
addresses it to someone else, according to instructions.
Example: Tell him to wait for you. –Wait for me
5.Completion. The student hears an utterance that is
complete except for one word, then repeats the
utterance in completed form. Example: I’ll go my way
and you go … -I’ll go my way and you go yours.

9. 6. Transposition. A change in word order is
necessary when a word is added. Example:
I’m hungry.(so). –So am I.
7. Expansion. When a word is added it takes a
certain place in the sequence. Example: I
know him. (hardly). -I hardly know him.

10. 8 .Transformation. A sentence is transformed by being
made negative or interrogative.
Example:
(+)He knows my address.
(–)He doesn’t know my address.
(?)Does he know my address?
9 . Contraction. A single word stands for a phrase.
Example :
* Put your book on the table
* Put your book there

11. Learners are viewed as
organisms that can be directed
by skilled training techniques
to produce correct responses.
Learners play a reactive role
by responding to stimuli, and
thus have little control over
the content, pace, or style of
LEARNER ROLES

12. The teacher’s role is central and active; it
is a teacher-dominated method. The
teacher must keep the learners attentive
by varying drills and tasks and choosing
relevant situations to practice structures.
