Document Summary
Draws on the idea of habit formation (based on the learning theory behaviourism") Draws on language as a formal system (based on structural linguistics") Major aim is to be able to correctly respond, not to understand language. Vocabulary and structures are presented through dialogues which are repeated by the learners. Form-oriented exercises tend to kill learning motivation (drill and kill) Often avoidance of new forms in production. First scientific method: rational view of learning & a systematic way of teaching, both derived from the linguistic and psychological knowledge available. Ppp: easy to organize & multiply (teacher training) Learners were not equipped to use l2 for communication outside the classroom. > no transfer of isolated items of grammar & vocabulary to real life communicative situations. Use language for a range of different purposes and functions. Vary our use of language according to the setting and the participants. Produce and understand different types of texts.
