Audio Lingual Method

The document describes the audio lingual method of teaching language through repetition of dialogues. It provides instructions for a teacher to: 1) have students repeat a sample dialogue in pairs or groups; 2) do chain drills repeating questions and answers; and 3) substitute different words to create new meanings while maintaining the structure. The goal is for students to learn through repetition and muscle memory without relying on translation.
