- 3. • Due to the World War II soldiers needed to become orally proficient in the languages of their allies and enemies as quickly as possible. • This teaching technique was initially called the Army Method, and was the first to be based on linguistic theory and behavioral psychology. When did this method start?
- 4. • It is based on Skinner’s Behaviorism theory, which says that a human being can be trained using a system of reinforcement. • This approach to learning is similar to the Direct Method, in that the lesson takes place entirely in the target language. • These patterns are occasioned, repeated and tested until the responses given by the student in the foreign language are automatic. The context is important
- 11. Developments & Problems This extensive memorization, repetition and over-learning of patterns was the key to the method’s success, as students could often see immediate results, but it was also its weakness. The method’s insistence on repetition and memorization of standard phrases ignored the role of context and knowledge in language learning. As the study of linguistics developed, it was discovered that language was not acquired through a process of habit formation, and that errors were not necessarily bad. It was also claimed that the methodology did not deliver an improvement in communicative ability that lasted over the long term.
- 12. WHY THE AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD FAILED? Philip Smith's study from 1965-1969, termed the Pennsylvania Project, provided significant proof that audio-lingual methods were less effective than a more traditional cognitive approach involving the learner's first language.
