Question

Which of these is true about the Audio-Lingual Method?

• A. Grammar is taught through deductive rule explanation.
• B. The use of mother tongue is strictly avoided.
• C. Reading and writing are prioritized over listening.
• D. Translation exercises are central to learning.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The use of mother tongue is strictly avoided.

The Audio-Lingual Method insists on exclusive use of the target language in the classroom. It focuses on listening and speaking, with reading and writing incorporated later. Grammar is taught through oral pattern practice, not through rule explanation.
