With the outbreak of World
War II armies needed to
become orally proficient in the
languages of their allies and
enemies as quickly as possible.
This teaching technique was
initially called “the Army
Method” and was the first to
be based on linguistic theory
Modern Usage
The Audio-lingual Method is
still in use today, though
normally as a part of individual
lessons rather than as the
foundation of the course.
These types of lessons can be
popular as they are relatively
simple, from the teacher’s
point of view, and the learner
Audio-lingual
Teaching Method
Audio Lingual Method is
A method of foreign language
teaching which emphasizes
the teaching of listening and
speaking before reading and
writing. It uses dialogues as the
main form
of language presentation and
drills as the main
training techniques. Mother
in ALM, grammar is prioritized over
vocabulary, and accuracy over fluency, giving
learners few opportunities to produce errors
which are seen as potentially “contagious“
Ultimately, the learner will speak
“automatically”.
5. Identifying the
sound system
You don’t need to have a comprehensive list of all
the sounds available for speaking the target
language. It will suffice to help your students to
first articulate, then recognize, the most basic
6. Using tongue-twisters to
build articulation and strength
The students will have much more fun working with
complete sentences so try well-known tongue-twisters.
7. Do Structural
Drilling Exercises
The repetitive practice of basic constructs
develops strength and agility for later
improvisational work.

Learning through
repitition
ADVANTAGES
• 1. Provides practice in language patterns:: students will be
able to memorize and use the language directly in real
conversation.
• 2. Promotes good pronunciation: Through listening, students
will be able to pronounce the word correctly.
• 3.Stresses fluency: students learn pronunciation, intonation
and stress through mimicking what the teacher says or what
they hear.
DISADVANTAGES
• Process of learning emphasize on speaking and little
attention is paid to content.
• Ignores the communicative competence in teaching
practice.
• Failure to learn results only from the improper
application of the method.
• Audio-Lingual Method is boring; not creative.
• The method is based on mechanical learning and

respond as accurately
