Situational language teaching is an approach where students acquire a language by learning how to behave in different situations, rather than by learning grammatical rules. It focuses on presenting vocabulary and grammar structures in meaningful, context-based activities. The teacher acts as a model by setting up situations, and students must be active participants by listening, repeating, responding to questions and commands. Lessons follow a progression from introduction to production, with an emphasis on accurate pronunciation and automatic use of basic structures through oral practice and drilling. The goal is for students to quickly and accurately respond in speech situations.
