The Audio-Lingual method started in the 1940s aslanguage training for World War II troops, whoneeded quick training for basic communication.The technique was broadened and popularized in
the 50s and 60s and is still used today, mostly incombination with other methods. Drawing on thetheories of American linguists LeonardBloomfield and Charles Fries, the method isbased on behaviorism, or giving a stimulus and
response which immediately conveys positive ornegative feedback. In the case of languagelearning, the teacher makes a statement thatstudents repeat.

The theory of language underlying
Audiolingualism was derived from a view
proposed by American linguists in the 1950s
a view that came to be known as structurallinguistics. Linguistics had emerged as a
flourishing academic discipline in the 1950s,
and the structural theory of language
constituted its backbone.

Elements in a language were thought ofus being linearly produced in a rule-governed (structured) way.
Language samples could be exhaustively
described at any structural level ofdescription (phonetic, morphological,etc.)
Linguistic levels were thought of as
systems within systems that is, as beingpyramidally structured: phonemic systemsled to morphemic systems, and these inturn led to the higher-level systems ofphrases, clauses, and sentences.

The emergence of the Audiolingual methodresulted from the increased attention givento foreign language teaching in the UnitedStates toward the end of the 1950s. The US
Government acknowledged the need for amore intensive effort to teach foreignlanguages in order to prevent Americans frombecoming isolated from scientific advances
made in another countries.

Foreign language learning is basically a processof mechanical habit formation. Good habits areformed by giving correct responses rather thanby making mistakes. By memorizing dialoguesand performing pattern drills the chances ofproducing mistakes are minimized. Language isverbal behavior that is, the automaticproduction and comprehension of utterances and can be learned by inducing the students todo likewise.
Language skills are learned more effectively ifthe items to be learned in the target languageare presented in spoken form before they areseen in written form. Aural-oral training isneeded to provide the foundation for thedevelopment of other language skills.

Analogy provides a better foundation for languagelearning that analysis. Analogy involves the processesof generalization and discrimination. Explanations ofrules are therefore not given until students havepracticed a pattern in a variety of contexts and arethought to have acquired a perception of theanalogies involved. Hence the approach to theteaching of grammar is essentially inductive ratherthan deductive.
The meanings that the words of a language have for a
native speaker can be learned only in a linguistic andcultural context and not in isolation. Teaching alanguage thus involves teaching aspects of thecultural system of the people who speak thelanguage.

Audiolinguists demanded a complete
reorientation of the foreign language
curriculum. Like the nineteenth century
reformers, they advocated a return tospeech-based instruction with the primary
objective of oral proficiency, and dismissed
the study of grammar or literature as a goal
of foreign language teaching.
A radical transformation is called for,
a new orientation of procedures is
demanded, and a thorough housecleaning of methods, texts and tests is
unavoidable.

Audiolingualism is a linguistic, orstructure-based, approach to languageteaching. The starting point is a linguisticsyllabus, which contains the key items of
phonology, morphology, and syntax of thelanguage arranged according to theirorder of comprehension. These may havebeen derived in part from a contrastiveanalysis of a differences between the
native tongue and the target language,since these differences are thought to bethe cause of the major difficulties thelearner will encounter.

In addition, a lexical syllabus of basic
vocabulary items is also usually specified in
advance. In Foundations of English Teaching
(Fries 1961), for example, a corpus of
structural and lexical items graded onto
three levels is proposed, together with
suggestions as to the situations that could be
used to contextualize them.

Dialogues and drills form of the basis ofaudiolingual classroom practices. Dialoguesprovide the means of contextualizing keystructures and illustrate situations in which
structures might be used as well as some culturalaspects of the target language. Dialogues areused for the repetition and memorization.Correct pronunciation, stress, rhythm, andintonation are emphasized. After a dialogue has
been presented and memorized, specificgrammatical patterns in the dialogue areselected and become the focus of various kindsof drill and pattern-practice exercises.

Learners are viewed as organisms that can be
directed by skilled training techniques to
produce correct responses. Learners play a
reactive role by responding to stimuli, and
thus have little control over the content,
pace, or style of learning.

In Audiolingualism, as in Situational LanguageTeaching, the teachers role is central andactive; it is a teacher dominated method.The teacher models the target language,
controls the direction and pace of learningand monitors and corrects the learnersperformance. The teacher must keep thelearners attentive by varying drills and tasks
and choosing relevant situations to practicestructures.

Instructional materials in Audiolingualmethod assist to teacher to develop languagemastery in the learner. They are primarilyteacher oriented. The teacher uses a
teachers book that contains the structuredsequence of lessons to be followed and thedialogues, drills and other practice activities.Tape recorders and the audiovisual
equipment often have central roles in anAudiolingual course.

Since Audiolingualism is primarily an oral
approach to language teaching, it is not
surprising that the process of teaching
involves extensive oral instruction. As far as
possible the target language is used as the
medium of instruction, and translation use of
native tongue is discouraged.

Students first hear a model dialogue containingthe key structures that are the focus of thelesson. They repeat each line of the dialogue,individually and in chorus. The teacher pays
attention to pronunciation, intonation, andfluency. Correction of the mistakes ofpronunciation or grammar is direct andimmediate. The dialogue is memorized gradually,line by line. A line may be broken down into
several phrases if necessary. The dialogue is readaloud in chorus, one half saying one speakerspart and the other half responding. The studentsdo not consult their book throughout this phase.

The dialogue is adapted to the studentsinterest or situation through changingcertain key words or phrases. This isacted out by the students.
Certain key structures from the dialogueare selected and used as the basis forpattern drills of different kinds. These arefirst practiced in chorus and thenindividually. Some grammaticalexplanation may be offered at this point,but this is kept to an absolute minimum.

The students may refer to their textbook, andfollow-up reading, writing or vocabularyactivities based on the dialogue may beintroduced. At the beginning level, writing is
purely imitative and consist of little more thancopying out sentences that have been practiced.As proficiency increases, students may write outvariations of structural items they have practicesor write short compositions on given topics with
the help of framing questions, which will guidetheir use of the language.
Follow-up activities may take place in thelanguage laboratory, where further dialogue anddrill work is carried out.

Audiolingualism reached its period of mostwidespread use in the 1960s. But then camecriticism on two fronts.
1. The theoretical foundations of Audiolingualismwere attacked as being unsound both in terms
of language theory and learning theory.2. Practitioners found that the practical results
fell short of expectations. Students were oftenfound to be unable to transfer skills acquiredthrough Audiolingualism to real
communication outside the classroom, andmany found the experience of studyingthrough audiolingual procedures to be boringand unsatisfying.
Language is not a habit structure.Ordinary linguistic behavior
characteristically involves innovation,formation of new sentences and
patterns in accordance with rules ofgreat abstractness and intricacy

Audiolingualism holds that language is like
other forms of learning. Since language is a
formal, rule-governed system, it can be
formally organized to maximize teaching and
learning efficiency. Audiolingualism thus
stresses the mechanistic aspects of language
learning and language use.

The audio-lingual methodThe audio-lingual method has students
listen to or view recordings of languagemodels acting in situations. Students
practice with a variety of drills, and theinstructor emphasizes the use of thetarget language at all times. The audio-lingual method was used by the UnitedStates Army for "crash" instruction inforeign languages during World War II.Due to weaknesses in performance, audio-lingual methods are rarely the primarymethod of instruction today.
