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






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






3. Produce learners who can communicate orally - intelligibly uninhibitedly with native speakers






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






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






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






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






8. Leaning involves whole person; social process of growth






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






10. Basically structuralist - grammar-based view of language






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






12. Use language meaningful to promote learning; activities involving real communication






13. Language is primarily speech; learning language involves culture






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






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






16. Act as model in presenting structures; lead drill practice; correct errors; test progress






17. No basic text; initially use voice - gestures and action; later use materials and media






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. Based on selection of communicative activities and topics derived from learners' needs






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






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






28. Should try to lose themselves in activities involving meaningful communication






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






30. Language is a set of structures related to situations






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






32. Literary language is superior to spoken language






33. Essence of language is meaning; vocab not grammar is heart of the language






34. Dialogues & drills; repetition & memorization pattern practice






35. Information sharing; negotiation of meaning & interaction






36. Direct class activities; demonstrate - not explain or translate; give Ss choices to correct selves






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






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






39. Learning cannot lead to acquisition; learning- a conscious process; acquisition- a natural - subconscious process






40. Active and direct role - 'director' of stage play with students as actors






41. Facilator of communication process; needs analyst - counsellor; process manager






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






43. Must teach - test - get out of way; remain impassive; resist temptation to model - assist - direct - or exhort






44. Student respond to commands - questions - visual cues; encourage and shape oral responses; no grammar explanation or modeling






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






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






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






48. Textbooks; prepared passages and related grammar and vocab exercises
