So this method is a little bit old school. However, you still will see it these days on many of the language learning apps because it really is an ideal way to learn a language if you're by yourself, just kind of in a few minutes of spare time that you might have. So there are a few key features of it but the main thing it tries to do is form a habit. It uses patterns, drills, and dialogues to try to achieve this. So there are four different types of dialogues. The first one is repetition. The teacher would say a pattern and then the students would repeat it. And then the next type of dialogue or pattern is inflection. This is where the teacher would say the pattern and then they would have the students repeat it and then they would change one word within that pattern and students would repeat it. The next kind of dialogue is replacement. This is more student-led. The teacher would say a pattern and the students repeat it and then they would change one word in that pattern and then say it out loud for themselves. Finally, the last one is restatement. This is where the teacher would say a sentence and then students would have to say that sentence or that pattern in a different way. Okay, so that's kind of the basics of the audio-lingual method. It begins with speaking and listening and then it later moves into writing or reading. Please leave a comment and tell me if you've ever learned a language or seen any language apps that would kind of use this audio-lingual method and how it worked out for you.
