A CLASS BASED ON AUDIO LINGUAL METHOD

INTRODUCTION

In this class, which is designed to be taught using the Audio Lingual Method, students will
learn some vocabulary items about furniture. This is followed by dialog practice which is
between two people talking about office furniture. The students will have lots of repetition
practices and drills.

After memorizing the dialog in the class students will be inductively introduced to the
structure “there + be”. Students also will learn about a few of the prepositions of place
followed by enough drilling to ensure that they fully understand the usage.

The reading as well as writing skill sections will be presented as the final phase of the
lesson and the teacher may use different techniques for these sections.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

To learn the structure “there+ be”

To learn vocabulary about furniture using the Audio Lingual method

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

To provide clarification, review and practice of language used for the structure “there +
be” in the context of a conversation and reading comprehension

To provide clarification, review and practice of "Furniture Vocabulary" in the context of

a conversation

Subsidiary Aims

To provide clarification, review and practice of language used for "prepositions of place in,
on, under, in front of, behind" in the context of talking about furniture in a room
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The audio-lingual method consists of teaching the new language by reading a dialogue or
text and carrying out oral repetition exercises. According to this method, learning a
language consists of knowing its grammar and practicing it through different types of
repetition exercises until new habits are created and speech becomes spontaneous.

The main points are: a) learning a language is a process of habit formation, and good
habits are achieved by giving the correct answers b) since the language is oral, the oral
form is presented before the written form c) is discourages the use of translation or mother
tongue d) students deduce the rules of the language through practice, so that grammar is
taught indirectly (as in the direct method).

Classroom practice

Dialogues and repetition exercises are the basis in the classroom. Dialogues provide context
to language and are used for repetition and memorization. After reading a dialogue, the
teacher selects some grammar points on which the different types of exercises are carried
out. A typical class consists of

(1) Students listen to a dialogue and repeat the sentences. (2) The dialogue can be adapted
to the interests of the students by changing some sentences. (3) Some structures of the
dialogue are selected to perform repetition exercises of different types. (4) Students open
the textbook and do vocabulary or writing exercises. As language proficiency increases,
students can write essays on specific topics.
