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






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






3. Based on situations and topics - not usually linguistic






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






5. Language is a rule governed system - hierarchically arranged






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






7. Listen and perform; little influence over content of learning






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. Memorization and habit forming






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






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






21. Basically structuralist - grammar-based view of language






22. Read and write; no control over content; memorize; answer-usually written






23. Imperative drills to elicit physical actions






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






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






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






27. Teacher oriented; tapes & visuals; language lab often used






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






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

34. Leaning involves whole person; social process of growth






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






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






37. No textbook; materials developed as course progresses






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






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






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






41. Central & active teacher centered method; provides model - controls direction & pace






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






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






44. Counselling and parent analogy; provide safe environment for students to learn and grow






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






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






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






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






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