1. Language involved whole person and culture; educational - developmental - communicative process






2. Based on structure- grammar and vocab; items introduced by grammatical complexity






3. Repetition; substitution drills; avoid translation and grammar explanation; students not allowed to make mistakes






4. Texts - tapes - classroom items and music; texts must have force and literary quality






5. Communicate orally and think in L2 - students make direct association between meaning and L2






6. Acquire vocab by speaking full sentences in L2; communication is purpose of language learning






7. Maintain passive state; allow materials to work on them






8. Based on situations and topics - not usually linguistic






9. Relies on text and visual aids; test is tightly organized - has structurally graded lessons






10. Sentence-based with grammatical and lexical criteria being primary focus on meaning - not form






11. Answer and ask questions - use L2 and communicate as if in real situations






12. Translation; reading comp; memorization of vocab lists; identify synonyms - antonyms - cognates - deductive application of grammar rules






13. Learners as negotiator - interactor - giving & receiving information






14. Memorization and habit forming






15. Learners are directed by skilled training techniques to produce correct response






16. Literary language is superior to spoken language






17. Initiatives - question and answer - role play; listening exercises while deeply relaxed






18. Learning occurs through suggestion - when learners are in deeply relaxed state; baroque music used to induce state






19. Listen and repeat; respond to questions and commands; no control over content; make own statements questions later






20. Leaning L2 and L1 different; L2 learning is intellectual; feel music of language; silent awareness - then active trial






21. Learners are members of a community; learning not an individual accomplishment - but is achieved collaboratively






22. Habit formation; skills learned more effectively if oral before written; analogy - not analysis






23. Each language has unique rhythm and spirit; core structure and functional vocab are keys to spirit






24. Use L2 exclusively; inductive grammar; much speaking - T to Ss and Ss to Ss; dictation






25. A list of structures and vocab - graded by grammatical complexity






26. Responsible for their own learning' must develop independence - autonomy and responsibility






27. No specific objectives; near native mastery is goal






28. Information sharing; negotiation of meaning & interaction






29. Dialogues & drills; repetition & memorization pattern practice






30. Authority; has all control; corrects students; assign tasks to be memorized






31. Create situations and present materials to encourage positive reception and retention; exude authority and confidence






32. Ten-unit courses consisting of 1 -200 word dialogues - graded by vocab and grammar






33. Based on here and now - focus on meaning - not form; must allow for comprehensible input






34. Language is primarily speech; learning language involves culture






35. Translation and memorization - learn about L2 by translating L2 to L1 and vice versa and by learning vocab and grammar of L2






36. Main source of comprehensible input; must create positive; low-anxiety climate; lead rich mixture of activities






37. Control of structures of sound; form & order; mastery over symbols of L2; native speaker mastery






38. Objectives reflect needs of learners; include functional skills & linguistic objectives






39. Realia rather than textbooks; aim is to promote comprehension and communication






40. Innovative and conventional; translation - group work - recording - transcription - free conversation






41. Language is a system for expression of meaning; primary function is interaction & communication






42. Unique materials' colored rods; coded pronunciation and vocab charts






43. L2 learning same as L1; comprehension before production; carry out commands and reduction of stress






44. Text - plays - dialogues drive T's demonstrations of their meanings; objects (realia) in class






45. Conventional - but memorization of whole meaningful text is recommended






46. Graded syllabus of phonology - morphology & syntax; contrastive analysis






47. Structures - functions - notions - themes & tasks; order based on learners' needs






48. Literary passages to be translated; vocab and grammar based lessons based on passages






49. To be able to read literature in L2; translate L2 to L1 and vice versa; achieve proficiency in L2 reading and writing
