topic 1

• Grammar -translation method. Focus: to study the rules using translation exercises. Result: inability of student to communicate.
• Audiolingualism approach- born as a reaction to RA and its lack on aural - oral skills. Dominant in US 1940s-60s. Behavioural psychology- language is a habit formation. Mimicry and memory used. Take much from DA-

- no mother tongue-grammar taught and learnt inductively- action and pictures - to make meaning clear.

• Modern: COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
