Study Notes
Oral Approach and Situational Language Teaching
- Main focus is on developing learners' ability to communicate effectively in everyday situations
- Grammar is taught inductively, through examples and practice, rather than through explicit rules
- The learner is the center of the lesson, with the teacher acting as a facilitator or guide
- The target language is the exclusive language used in class, to promote authentic communication
Audio-lingual Method
- Characterized by the use of drills, dialogs, and audio recordings to develop language skills
- Based on the behaviorist theory, which views language learning as a process of habit formation
- Students' language habits are developed through repetition, imitation, and practice
- Developed in the post-World War II period, as a response to the need for rapid language learning
- Emphasizes the development of language skills through listening and speaking, rather than reading and writing
Direct Method
- Main goal is to enable learners to communicate freely and spontaneously in the target language
- Aimed to make second language learning similar to mother tongue acquisition, with a focus on natural, spontaneous language use
- One of the main principles is that language learning should be based on direct experience and exposure, rather than on explicit grammar rules
- Developed in response to the limitations of the Grammar-Translation Method, which did not provide learners with the skills they needed for real communication
