Document Summary
Audiolingual drills: focus on accuracy and not on understanding or learning. Pattern practice drill: a teaching technique in which learners are asked to practise sentence chosen to represent particular linguistic forms. Learners who receive audiolingual or grammar-translation instruction are often unable to communicate effectively. Structure-based approaches do not guarantee that learners develop high levels of accuracy and linguistic knowledge. The emphasis on accuracy often leads learners to feel inhibited to use the language- they are reluctant to take chances in using the language for communication. Comprehension-based instruction: learning acquisition takes place when learners are exposed to comprehensible input through listening and/or reading [ . Comprehensible input: a term introduced by stephen krashen to refer to language that a learner can understand. It may be comprehensible in part because of gestures, contextual information, or prior knowledge. Active listening and reading are, indeed, valuable for language learning. Comprehension- based approaches are most successful when they include emphasis of language features.
