Dialogs, if used, centre around communicative functions and are not normally memorized. Contextualization is a basic premise. Lang learning is learning to communicate. Communicative activities from the very beginning. Comprehensible pronunciation. Native lang accepted where feasible. Translation accepted in cases. All skills. Language is created by the individual often through trial and error. Fluency. Competence and performance. 1940’s Origins and forerunners: Behavioural psychology (Skinner), structural linguistics (Bloomfield, Fries, Lado), ASTP (Army Specialized Training Programs) Attends to structure and form, more than meaning.
