2.TheAudiolingualMethod

Objectives

Brooks（1964）distinguishesbetweenshort-rangeandlong-rangeobjectivesofanaudiolingualprogram.

（1）Short-rangeobjectives:

includetraininginlisteningcomprehension,accuratepronunciation,recognitionofspeechsymbols（e.g.vocabulary）asgraphicsignsontheprintedpage,andabilitytoreproducethesesymbolsinwriting.

"Theseimmediateobjectivesimplythreeothers:

first,controlofthestructuresofsound,form…in

thenewlanguage;second,acquaintancewithvocabularyitems…;Andthird,meaning,intermsofthesignificancetheseverbalsymbolshaveforthosewhospeakthelanguagenatively"（Brooks1964:

113）.

（2）Long-rangeobjectives"mustbelanguageasthenativespeakerusesit....Theremustbesomeknowledgeofasecondlanguageasitispossessedbyatruebilingualist".

Learnerroles

（2）Learnersplayareactiverolebyrespondingtostimuli,andthushavelittlecontroloverthecontent,pace,orstyleoflearning.

（3）Learnersarenotencouragedtostartinteraction,becausethismayleadtomistakes.

Teacherroles

InAudiolingualism,theteacher'sroleiscentralandactive,soitisateacher-dominatedmethod.

（1）Theteachermodelsthetargetlanguage,controlsthedirectionandpaceoflearning,andmonitorsandcorrectsthelearners'performance.Theaudio-lingualmethoddidn’tfocusonteachingvocabulary.Rather,theteacherdrilledstudentsintheuseofgrammar.

（2）Theteachermustkeepthelearnersattentivebychangingdrillsandchoosingrelevantsituationstopracticestructures.

（3）Failuretolearnthelanguageonlyfromtheimproperapplicationofthemethod,forexample,fromtheteachernotprovidingsufficientpracticeorfromthelearnernotmemorizingtheessentialpatternsandstructures;butthemethoditselfisnevertoblame.

..Theteachermustdothefollowing:

1.Introduce,andsustainthelearningofthefourskillsinthisorder:

listening,speaking,readingandwriting.

2.Modelthevarioustypesoflanguagebehaviorthatthestudentistolearn.

3.Teachspokenlanguageindialogueform.

4.Directchoralresponsebyallorpartsoftheclass.

5.Teachtheuseofstructurethroughpatternpractice.

6.Guidethestudentinchoosingandlearningvocabulary.

7.Showhowwordsrelatetomeaninginthetargetlanguage

8.Gettheindividualstudenttotalk.

9.Rewardtrialsbythestudentinsuchawaythatlearningisreinforced

Theroleofinstructionalmaterials

（1）Astudenttextbookisoftennotusedintheelementaryphasesofacoursewherestudentsareprimarilylistening,repeating,andresponding.Atthisstageinlearning,exposuretotheprintedwordmaydistractstudents’attentionfromtheauralinput.

（2）Theteacherhasateacher'sbookthatcontainsthestructuredsequenceoflessonstobefollowedandthedialogues,drills,andotherpracticeactivities.Whentextbooksandprintedmaterialsareintroducedtothestudent,theyprovidethetextsofdialoguesandcuesneededfordrillsandexercises.

3.SituationalLanguageTeaching

Objectives

（1）Apracticalcommandofthefourbasicskillsoflanguage,throughstructures.

（2）Accuracyinbothpronunciationandgrammar.

（3）Abilitytorespondquicklyandaccuratelyinspeechsituations.

（4）Automaticcontrolofbasicstructuresandsentencepatterns.

Learnerroles
