7) Question and Answer Drill

This drill gives students practice with answering questions.

The students should answer the teacher’s questions very

quickly. It is also possible for the teacher to cue the students to

ask questions as well. This gives students practice with the

question pattern.

4. Students’ Roles in the Audio-Lingual Method

Richards (1999: 56) states that learners are viewed as

organism that can be directed by skilled training techniques to

produce responses. In accordance with behaviorist learning

theory, teaching focuses on the external manifestations of

learning rather than on the internal process. Learners play a

reactive role by responding to stimuli, and thus have little

control over the content, pace, or style of learning. They are not

encouraged to initiate interaction, because this may lead to

mistake.
