COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD AND TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING

Description

This article presents a comparative analysis of two prominent language teaching
methodologies: the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) and Task-Based Language
Teaching (TBLT). While both approaches aim to enhance language acquisition, they
differ significantly in their underlying principles, techniques, and classroom
applications. This study examines key methodological aspects, including their
theoretical foundations, instructional strategies, learner engagement, and
effectiveness in promoting language proficiency among learners. The findings
suggest that while ALM focuses on repetition and memorization, TBLT emphasizes
meaningful communication through real-life tasks. The article concludes with
implications for language educators in selecting appropriate methodologies based on
learner needs.
