The Audiolingual Methods principles: Speaking and listening competence preceded reading and writing competence. Use of MT is highly discouraged in the classroom. The development of language skills is a matter of habit formation. Students practice particular patterns of language through structured dialogue and drill until response is automatic. Structured patterns in language are taught using repetitive drills.

AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD (ALM)

The Audiolingual Methods principles (cont): The emphasis is on having students produce error free utterances. This method of language learning supports kinesthetic learning styles. Only everyday vocabulary and sentences are taught. Concrete vocabulary is taught through demonstration, objects, and pictures. Abstract vocabulary is taught through association of ideas. The printed word must be kept away from the second language learner as long as possible
