Main Article Content
Abstract:
The Audio-Lingual Method (ALM), a language teaching approach that emphasizes listening, speaking, and repetition, has proven effective in various educational contexts, including with young learners. This article explores the application of the ALM in teaching children, highlighting its benefits in enhancing oral skills, boosting learner confidence, and providing a structured, engaging learning environment. The method’s core techniques—such as drills, dialogues, substitution exercises, and role-plays—are discussed in relation to young learners' developmental needs. While the ALM offers substantial advantages, including the promotion of language fluency and structure, its limitations, such as its potential monotony and overemphasis on correctness, are also considered. The article concludes that, with proper adaptation, the Audio-Lingual Method can be an effective and enjoyable tool for teaching young learners.
