The document discusses the structural approach to teaching English as a foreign language. It focuses on systematically teaching grammatical structures through patterns of sentences and a scientific selection of vocabulary. The approach believes mastery of structure is more important than vocabulary acquisition alone. It emphasizes speech, habit formation, and developing skills like writing, listening, understanding and pronunciation through repetition, dictation, dialogues and drilling vocabulary. The goal is to promote everyday English use and mastery of fundamental skills through automatically learning grammar, word order and usage.
