DEFINITION OF AUDIO LINGUAL METHOD
According
to Veigarsdóttir (2009: 13) the Audio-Lingual
Method is based
on oral approach. However, it
is very different
from the Direct
Method because instead
of learning language through
exposure to situations,
the Audio-Lingual Method
focuses on grammar patterns.
Although the method emphasizes speaking, it rarely allows beginning
students to speak freely because they can make mistakes which can become habit
forming
Banciu
& Jireghie (2012: 1) the
Audio-Lingual Method is a primary focus is on helping learners create
meaning rather than
helping them develop
perfectly grammatical structures or
acquire native-like pronunciation. This
means that successfully learning
a foreign language
is assessed in
terms of how
well learners have developed
their communicative competence,
which can loosely be defined as
their ability to apply knowledge of a language with adequate proficiency
to communicate.
An
explanation from Ayan (2008: 6) Audio-lingual
method was regarded
as a “process
of mechanical habit formation”
applying “stimulus response
chains” in language
teaching. Spoken forms
of language had precedence and
written forms were
generally showed in
further stages and
therefore, “automatic
production and comprehension
of utterances” were taught
in the first
stages and then
grammatical issues were represented.
Based
on Sárosdy and Bencze (2006: 13) the Audio-Lingual Method, which belongs to the
cognitive approach of language teaching. There was a great demand for people
speaking foreign languages for military purposes. They had
to be prepared
for their tasks
in shortcut intensive
courses. Some of the principles used
in this method
are similar to
those of the
direct method but
many are different. The goal of
Audio-Lingual Method is
to enable students
to use the
target language communicatively.
In order to do this, students need to over-learn the target language, to learn
to use it automatically without stopping to think. This aim can be
achieved by students’
forming new habits
in the target
language and overcoming the old
habits of their native language.
