The audiolingual method is a language teaching approach that emphasizes listening and speaking skills through repetitive practice and drills. Developed in the mid-20th century, this method is based on the principles of behaviorism, which suggests that language learning occurs through conditioning and reinforcement. In the audiolingual method, students are often exposed to dialogues and conversations in the target language, which they practice through repetition and memorization. This approach prioritizes pronunciation and grammatical accuracy, often using techniques such as shadowing, role-playing, and pattern drills. While effective for developing oral skills, the audiolingual method has been criticized for its limited focus on reading, writing, and the understanding of cultural contexts, leading to a more balanced approach in modern language teaching.
