the passage by memorizing lists of first and second language. 9. The teacher explains about Simple Past Tense which is written on a
white board in detail and gives translation exercises related to what he or she just explained.

7. The Differences Between Audio Lingual Method and Grammar
Translation Method
There are some differences between Audio Lingual and Grammar Translation Method. Those are:
NO Audio Lingual Method
ALM Grammar Translation Method
GTM
1. The basic principles behind ALM
basically were taught through habit formation where skills are learned
more effectively if oral precedes written,
grammar is
taught inductively through analogy, not
analysis like the GTM The GTM basically are focus on
grammatical rules, memorization of vocabulary and of various
declensions and
conjugations, translations of texts and doing
written exercises
2, The objectives of ALM are to gain
control of structures of sound, form and order, mastery over symbols of
the language where the goal is to achieve native-speaker mastery with
virtually none of the grammar and translation found in traditional
classes The objectives of the GTM is to
gain reading proficiency in a foreign language which learners
learn for the sake of being scholarly and having the ability to
read and write literature where it is considered superior to spoken
language where languages were not being taught primarily to learn
37 oral communication
3. the ALM‟s activities includes
dialogue memorization, repetition drill, single-slot substitution drill,
chain drill, transformation drill, minimal
pairs, complete
the dialogue and grammar games;
The activities of the GTM includes reading and translating difficult
classical Latin or Greek literary passages early on in the learning,
reading comprehension questions, cognates,
synonymsantonyms, deductive application of rule, fill-
in-the-blank, memorization, use words in sentences, composition
based upon some aspect of the reading passage and elaborate
explanations on the topic that is learned
4. The ALM is more or less the same
but learners are treated as organisms that can be directed by skilled
training techniques to produce correct responses
The roles of learners in the GTM is that they are imbeciles and
therefore they just have to follow the instructions given and just
receive what is being given by the teachers
5. Teachers in ALM are also central
and active
where they
are dominating. They are like orchestra
leaders where they provides models for learners to follow, controls
direction and pace of the class, and also
conducting, guiding,
and controlling the students behavior in
the target language Teachers‟ roles in the GTM are
like tyrants or fascists where they have all the authority and that
student should get the correct answer although not all users of
this method are like that. It remains popular as it required few
specialized skills on the part of the teachers because tests of grammar
rules and translations are easy to
