WHAT IS AUDIOLINGUAL METHOD?
It's also called Army Method. This method is still in use today, normally as a pat of individual lessons. It's a style of teaching used in teaching foreign languages. It is based on behaviorist theory, which professes that certain traits of living things, and in this case humans could be trained through a system of reinforcement, correct use of a trait would receive positive feedback while incorrect use of that trait would receive negative feedback.
This approach to language learning was similar to another, earlier method called the direct method.[citation needed] Like the direct method, the audio-lingual method advised that students be taught a language directly, without using the students’ native language to explain new words or grammar in the target language. However, unlike the direct method, the audio-lingual method didn’t focus on teaching vocabulary. Rather, the teacher drilled students in the use of grammar.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS TO PREVENT STUDENT ERRORS SINCE ERRORS LEAD TO THE FORMATION OF BAD HABITS POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT HELPS STUDENTS TO DEVELOP CORRECT HABITS.
THE MORE OFTEN THE STUDENTS REPEAT SOMETHING, THE STRONGER THE HABIT AND THE GREATER THE LEARNING.
