4 The Audio-Lingual Method (Pages 35-51) 1- Compare and contrast the Direct Method and the Audio-Lingual Method. (1) Both are oral-based approaches. (2) The Direct Method emphasizes vocabulary acquisition through exposure to its use in situations; the Audio-Lingual Method drills students in the use of grammatical sentence patterns. (3) Unlike the Direct Method, the Audio-Lingual Method has a strong theoretical base in linguistics and psychology. 2- How has the behavioral psychology influenced the Audio-Lingual Method? (1) It was thought that the way to acquire the sentence patterns of the target language was through conditioning—helping learners to respond correctly to stimuli through shaping and reinforcement. (2) Learners …show more content…
(2) Students need to overlearn the target language. (3) Students need to learn to use the target language automatically without stopping to think.

(1) The teacher is like an orchestra leader, directing and controlling the language behavior of her students.

(4) Students follow the teacher's directions and respond as accurately and as rapidly as possible. 15- What are some characteristics of the teaching/learning process? (1) New vocabulary and structural patterns are presented through dialogs. (2) The dialogs are learned through imitation and repetition. (3) Drills are conducted based upon the patterns present in the dialog. (4) Students' successful responses are positively reinforced. (5) Grammar is induced from the examples given; explicit grammar rules are not provided. (6) Cultural information is contextualized in the dialogs or presented by the teacher. (7) Students’ reading and written work is based upon the oral work they did earlier. 16- What is the nature of student-teacher interaction? What is the nature of
1.1 The primary role of a teacher is to teach. They have to take into consideration the role in which they take to enable learners to learn.
Teacher’s Role. Teachers understand that students learn to persevere in solving challenging mathematics problems by being allowed to struggle with an appropriate degree of difficulty. “Figuring things out” is part of life and students need ample opportunities to practice these skills.
When we look at the role of a teacher, trainer, assessor or tutor we find that there
There will be a complete involvement and participation from the students. The teacher can help the students define the role and
1.1 One of the class teachers main roles is to monitor and assess pupil achievement. They need to know how their class are progressing and be able to report on this. The teacher plans the lessons and schemes of work to enable the children to reach their learning objectives. It is important that the teacher, children and support staff know the objectives so they can understand the learning that is taking place.
The role of a teacher is to take in to consideration the length of the course the sessions available and plan what will be taught and when and to prepare the teaching and learning syllabus and activities.
TEACHING ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES: My role and responsibilities as a teacher are paramount for success and a clear understanding of what is required is important for the student’s
As a teacher, one of my main roles is to motivate my learners, to develop their ability to learn also to develop my learner’s aspiration to learn. When you train to teach you read about delivering training and how to facilitating learning, but in reality you do much more than that, your role as a teacher is not just about teaching your subject or preparing learners for assessment. The focus of your role as a teacher I feel relates very much to inspiring your learners to change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their
Your main role as a teacher should be to teach in a way that involves and engages your student every session. You should also make sure that each individual is learning with consistent assessing of their progress and keeping records of this, to help we have a teaching and learning cycle (Gravells, A. 2012).
In addition, the teacher is responsible for researching the subject area to ensure a wide, current knowledge base that will help when establishing credibility and professionalism, and then to develop a variety of interesting ways to deliver the content whilst ensuring a safe working environment for students. The teacher’s role is then to deliver the lesson content in a manner consistent with the learning styles and requirements of the delegates. These might include lecturing, large group discussion or case studies.
In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in
I believe that the fundamental goal of teaching is to provide a safe environment that allows students to meet their fullest potential in every aspect of their life. My job as an educator is to meet each child’s unique needs in a way that allows them to feel safe and secure to share ideas and take risks when it comes to their own education. I believe that as a teacher I should act as a guide to students’ learning rather than a dictator to it. I also believe that a child’s natural curiosity should direct their learning and impact what they choose to do. The final aspect that I believe is a must have in the classroom is a respect for all people and things. As a role-model for the students, I must show them how
Nowadays, although teaching and learning English has constantly changed, the Audio-Lingual Method still plays a significant role in many English classes around the world. According to Larsen-Freeman (2000), the Audio-Lingual Method was developed from an interesting idea that behavioral psychology and linguistic conventions are closely related to each other. Thus, this method aims to enhance learners’ ability by overlearn and habit formation.
Learning does not rely on only the teacher; the students must do their part as well. The students are to give the teacher their undivided attention at all time and they should be bold to ask questions when they need to do so. I always explain to my students, here inside the classroom is where you will make your mistakes and also fix them, so then I am here to help at all times. The students are to be punctual and attend as much classes as possible; they are also held accountable to complete all given assignments. I provide the resources need to my students and they are ones to make proper usages of the resource given to gain the knowledge that they need. Education is important to both teacher and students, so then it is both of our responsibilities to do our part as best as
As a teacher, one’s role and responsibility should be towards the learners’ ability to learn and for learning to be as tailored made for the individual learner.
