Audiolingualism really rings a bell on me. It made me recall my experiences in repeating what the teacher said and fill-in-the-blanks tasks, which many teachers still use today. It was also one of the strategies that helped me pronounce words when I was a young student.

After watching this video I learned that The primary goal of Audio-lingualism is to inculcate new language habits while also eliminating old ones. Audio-lingualism can be done in structural pattern using repetitive drills. This can also be helpful to students in learning the correct pronunciation of a word or a sentence. Thank you so much, Sir!

Audiolingualism made me understand my teachers' style in our language classes when I was a child. Usually, they employ the usual "fill in the blanks" or "repeat after me" strategies to ensure that we remember and memorize words, phrases, grammar, and pronunciation. The video allowed me to understand the practice and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses in language learning.

Thanks for this informative video, Sir. Audio-lingualism was well-explained. Audio-lingualism, despite criticisms, is still applied in schools where L2 teachers prioritize pronunciation through repetitive drills.
This video made me realize that this is actually the reason why my English teachers in elementary keeps us in reciting words repetitively. now I know that because of this video. Thank you!

It's good to learn the proper term on this kind of mannerism in learning and teaching. I have encountered teachers before who gives us activity that says "repeat after me" and now I know that it's part of Audio-lingualism.

Audio linguism makes me think of how my parents always tell me how we replicate the sound we hear in the videos or radio. Growing up, I can really say that this is indeed helpful especially in improving the pronunciation of learner like me who's also having a hard time on it.
(Velasco_II-BEE)
Watching this video once again made me realise that Audiolingualism focuses on developing oral language skills. Despite its disadvantage/s as a language approach, no one can deny its role in helping teachers in teaching an aspect of the language, which is pronunciation.
John Paul L. Lozano (BEE III-3; Term 3, S.Y. 2022-2023)
My elementary school teachers used this teaching approach a lot, and I can say that it was effective, especially when it comes to learning pronunciation.
Thanks for this, Sir!

This theory is very similar to Behaviorism theory on which a lot of my former teachers were using. I have experienced this theory mostly on DepEd Classes. I remember when I was in elementary, in order to read a lengthy sentence, we will divide it into chunks until it become a sentence. This video is very significant in teaching language. As a future teacher, I will look for more kind of this video. Indeed, a helping aid for us.

As I've experienced Audiolingualism numerous times, I can say that it is quite helpful; it allowed me to remember the lesson much easier, thus I believe that if teachers knew how to utilize it effectively, it would be one of the most effective teaching methods. (Pacarat, II-3)
We were once children so we are used to learning language using mimicry (where we have to mimic what our teacher has to say), memorizing of set phrases, and overlearning. Although this has been criticized by Chomsky and the proponents of innatism, it is still very useful especially in pronunciation. For example, in foreign language classes, it would be very difficult to pronounce certain words that the teacher wants you to read unless they will allow you to repeat after them. It's important that teachers set habits while learners are exposed to language especially at an early age.
Laquindanum, Eomie G.
BEE III-2
Although it has been highly criticized, I feel that audio-lingualism is beneficial and effective in some instances, particularly because I experienced most of the activities such as drills, and I believe it helped me in learning my L2, especially in my pronunciation. I also loved to imitate people talking in movies whenever I watched them when I was young, and I believe they contributed a lot to my language learning.
Parcon, Arielyn T.

This approach is suited to beginning language learners since audiolingualism focuses on teaching proper pronunciations through repetitive drills. I find it also best for foreign language learners as this is one of the strategies that our French professor uses and, so far, I could say that it really benefits me.

This video enlightened me about how audio-lingualism is used in teaching and somehow show effectiveness but too much use of it may cause a failure. (Delos Reyes, II-17 BMSEE)
I can see why audio-lingualism is the common style to teach language, especially in pre-school and elementary. It's straightforward and is treated like drills to form a habit early on. This is also the case for those who study EFL to get used to their "toolbox" phrases they can use for conversational and negotiation purposes. It's one way to learn, but if overused, it cannot lead to meaningful language learning as it relies to rote memorization.

This method will be a big help for our dear BECED students as they teach younger learners who are in need of basic concepts of language. Very informative video!
I'm grateful you shared this video, sir. Even though it is only a little film, it is incredibly educational and thoroughly explains audio-lingualism. In fact, pupils in lower grades, especially those who have trouble pronouncing words, can benefit from audio-lingualism.

Audiolingualism is mostly practiced in preschool or elementary. Even if it is effective for young learners, teachers still need to be aware of its weaknesses. Thank you for this discussion, as it will also help me, as a future language teacher, plan a better teaching approach.

I can still remember how this strategy was used during my pre-school years. And I can attest that the repetitive drills was really useful in learning new forms.
Rago, Angelica

Due to this video, I remembered when our teachers said “Class, repeat after me” when I was young. I also remembered the countless fill in the blanks activities that we accomplished back then. Now, I know that mimicking teachers and repetitive drills are examples of audiolingualism in the classroom. Thank you very much, Sir!

Based on how I was taught by my mother to read in English, I can sort of testify how audiolingualism is effective among young learners. The use of repetitive drills really instill new habits among children.
Marc Joshua A. Pangantihon

Repetition drills may be used for young learners so they will be able to recognize language patterns. I remember how we were taught this way in elementary. Although it now make sense to me, I still think that teaching forms should not be the focus of language teaching. There is a need for real-life application in the classroom. This way, meaningful learning will take place and not merely rote memorization.
Thanks for this concise but straightforward lecture!

I remember that when I was in elementary, my teacher taught us a routine wherein we greet her first, and then our classmates. We also had to sing songs (nursery rhymes) before we proceeded with our discussions.

I noticed that there are many approaches or methods based on behaviorism and now I know that audiolingualism is one of them. Thinking of "Fill in the Blanks" drills, I recalled some classroom scenarios during my primary years and also in our foreign language class for this term.
Grañada, Kattlea P.

This made me remember some films I've seen that used audio-lingualism techniques. One of these is Dead Poets Society wherein they used repetitive drills to learn Latin words. II myself used to use some strategies that helped me in learning (although I've found better ways to learn now). Thank you for this informative video!

Indeed, Audiolingualism is critical when learning a new language. Practice should be really observed as it follows patterns. (Delos Santos, BEE II-3)
It was very nice to know how audiolingualism can be ineffective and effective in different ways. Just repeating words you hear may not actually prove you will retain what the words mean and how to even properly use it in sentences for example. However, I do in fact believe that it is effective to use on learning how to pronounce a word. It makes so much more sense that way.

There is a lot of audiolingualism in the classrooms of k+3 learners. Now I know why because of this lecture. Thank you, Sir!

This topic made me understand the importance of
audiolingualism in learning pronunciation of words for it emphasizes learning grammatical and phonological structures, especially in speaking and listening. (II-17 BMSEE)
This video help me understand why most of the time teachers are using the ‘repeat after me’ method when teaching pronunciation (Ramos II-17 BMSEE)
Audiolingualism is definitely still relevant till today since students are known to have short attention span and the rising of multimodal learning in the 21st century is par of the curriculum now. This means that audiolingualism is a form of teaching that most students need to learn, as stated before, every learner has a different way of coping or absorbing language learning.

As a person who volunteers at our school's summer classes here at our province, I could definitely say that audiolingualism is used here, at the same time, highly effective and fun!
Bagunas, Vnette Shania T.

This video is helpful as it also gives me an idea of how to teach certain topics such as "pronunciation" through the students mimicking the teacher in a repetitive drill. This is also effective as it is also the students are able to be corrected whenever they are committing mistakes by the immediate feedback of the teacher. Yet, the only problem here is that the students might learn only the form of these specific words or but not the meaning itself. That's why it is very important to choose the appropriate expected learning skill that a student will learn in using this idea in teaching. (Jaime Valeriano Q. Roldan II-17 BMSEE)
Audiolingualism is basically the area in which behaviorism continues to be applicable and relevant. I thought we will not be discussing more of that part but I was surprised by this lecture.

Audiolingualism is important for us to know the correct pronunciation and grammar of a word/s to a more complex sentences. Thank you for this video, god bless!! from II-17BSEE
This video is useful since it provides me with suggestions for how to instruct learners to copy the teacher during a repeated exercise regarding a specific subject, like "pronunciation." This is additionally efficient since it allows teachers to provide students rapid feedback when they make mistakes, allowing them to be remedied.
Jomarie Dela Cruz Garcia, BEE-II-2.
Audiolingualism is effective to use in teaching young learners by the use of repetitive drills for them to master a particular skill, but overlearning might also take place. This video gives me an idea of when and how to appropriately use audiolingualism. (Reyes, Erika Joyce S. - II-17 BMSEE)
I do remember the moments where audiolingualism was used inside the classroom, and it's a good way for the students to imitate or mimic what the teacher was saying, however, there's a chance that it could be abused in a way.

Thank you for the short but very informative video on Audiolingualism, Sir. The lecture reminds me of myself whenever I am teaching my toddler cousin some set of new words. I would also do the drill of repeting the words so that she would correctly pronounce the word that I am trying to teach her. Now, I somehow understand that the concept of Audiolingualism in language teaching and learning.
Alyssa Nanquil,

This means that students can learn through mimicry and drills. However, if we do this, the students will become less active because they will only be expected to repeat a pronunciation of a word or phrases but not the meaning itself. As a result, knowing about it has helped me understand how important it is to find a way to make learning interesting using this method. (Melecia, Alyssa Mae R. ll-17 BMSEE)
Once, when I took part in an outreach program to help young and adult orphans read and understand simple vocabularies and phrases (i.e., I ate an apple, the sky is blue, my hands are dirty, etc.) I remember having the children mimic what I said multiple times so that they would memorize it. Back then, I was not one to think of how I taught them the language as long as I did my job properly. But now that I think of it, this approach is faulty in many ways because beginning language learners are forced to acquire language with very little to no context. The children in the orphanage did not understand even the basic vocabulary and phrases, and audiolingualism would do very little for them to acquire a new language because of the lacking explicit analogies it offers. Furthermore, their knowledge would be restricted to lower-order thinking skills (memorization) rather than higher-order thinking skills (meaning)
Nonetheless, this lecture was very enlightening. I am glad to put a name on an approach I remember using.

I agree that Audiolingualism is still helpful in learning especially in speaking a language. I am also a language learner (Korean to be specific) and it was helpful for me in ponouncing words. (Hermosura, II-3)
As an elementary student before, this is one of the teaching methods applied to us learning the English language. It is one of the things that made me learn English. Through this video, I learned all about it and how it is now only applicable in teaching pronunciation now.

I learned that Audiolingualism is indeed helpful in learning pronunciation of words because the emphasizes learning grammatical and phonological structure, especially for speaking and listening.
(Arce, Jereysalie Layacan II-17 BMSEE)
This kind of method is often used in primary schools as it makes the teaching ang learning inside the classroom easier. Thank you for this great lecture.
Basilio, Ryan L. III - 1 BEE
This is the most common but important strategy for elementary school students. It encourages students to become familiar with the phrases because they are required to repeat them numerous times with the teacher. This may appear to be beneficial, particularly in developing students' pronunciation skills, because it is a good practice activity; however, if the teacher uses it most of the time, it will become ineffective because it may lead to memorization rather than understanding the meaning, familiarizing the form, and applying in real world application.

This specific approach in teaching the language must be used strategically and appropriately. But just like any approaches, teachers should know when to use this and what specific skills are they going to improve through it.
(Arroyo, II-3)
I have learned that Language teachers in Elementary level mostly used this approach to teach their students pronunciation. However, I noticed that as years passed by, teachers in High School level and/or College Level don't use this approach anymore.

Seeing the second to the last slide made me a bit sad how most of audiolingualism is a failure when I learn from language learning apps my L2. However, this made me more aware on how I should review my choices in learng L2 so that my time won't be wasted and be not criticized with my skills in speaking my chosen L2.

This approach is very effective in speech training particularly in teaching linking, stress, intonation and articulation. If the teacher's target is to develop proper pronunciation and correct production of the sounds of the letters, then audio-lingualism is the best approach to be used.
RAISSA PINUELA-MARQUEZ, ELE 701, MA ELE - S1, LisQuP
This is really useful for teaching correct pronunciation of words and practice language as it also establish friendly environment because it's fine to commit mistakes as immediate feedback and guidance is given. (Gumamela, Denise Nicole R. BMSEE II-17)
I like the video because it is very informative and easy to understand at the same time it provides a clear explanation on what audioligualism really is-Christine Casimiro II-17 BMSEE
I remember using audiolingualism's strategies when I was around elementary or even younger than that. I think I only found it fun in the aspect that I was reading words aloud with the rest of the class hahaha. However, I can confidently say it was definitely how I meaningfully learned how to speak English or Filipino. Still, as the video said it's not entirely something that should be rejected since it still has it's uses. With regards to the inductive and deductive methods, we discussed that in detail in Teaching Communicative Grammar so that was a nice review.
Jose, Noelle III-2 BEE
I learned that with the help of Audiolingualism it is very helpful when learning and teaching pronunciation but, it can also risk the students' learning when acquiring the meaning of the words. (DIZON II-17)
Despite of its weakness in instruction, I think audio-lingualism is still very helpful especially for students who have a hard time learning proper pronunciation. (Mengullo, BEE II-3)
This is a very informative video on audiolingualism which is learning based on repetition. This is helpful in learning a foreign language where you have to master pronunciation.

Children usually imitate, we can see them saying words they hear from their parents or teachers. Therefore, it would be a great strategy to language teaching where students can learn effectively through listening, imitation and repetitive instruction.

This concept is commonly seen in the teachers of Kindergarten to Primary students. The repetition and mimicking of teachers on how to pronounce words will help them to pronounce these words correctly and properly. (De Guzman, BEE II-3)
Anchored on behaviorism, audiolingualism emphasizes the importance of acquiring sets of habits and skills through mimicry. However, like behaviorism, this theory disregards the fact that rote memorization of habits will happen. That's why we have to be extra cautious if we want to promote this one in our ESL classes.

I think moderate use of audio-lingualism in teaching language can be beneficial in learning but over- usage of this may lead to lack of critical thinking and over dependency among students. Nevertheless, this video is really helpful in understanding audio- lingualism, thank you! (Macapagal, II-3)
Although audiolingualism is said to be ineffective when it comes teaching and learning language, I personally believe that it is effective for developing and improving speaking and listening skills as it allows the students to learn and mimic language through tape players, language laboratories, or visual aids.

Audiolingualism can be a good practice for learners who are starting to learn the language. It targets mastery in speaking the language esp.in pronouncing the words through mimicry, memorization and others.
Katherine Medrano, MA ELE (ELE 701) LisQuP
Zaratan, Princess Faye | BEE II-2
This is somehow familiar to me. During my elementary does we often used the 'repeat after me' activity by our teachers. Sometimes we also used tv to practice our oral skills.
Audiolingualism focuses on language structure and involves a lot of repetition and memorization. Memorization, in my experience, can lead to a lot of practice and hone the brain's memory.
Miraflores, Erica Joy S.
BEE III-3
I can say the same to some of the comments on how my teachers, and even my parents when I was young, would tell me to repeat what they're saying. It's a good practice to improve pronunciations, and it can be used in higher levels of education if some students are not familiar with the word.
Lansangan, Giana Nicole BEE III-2
Looking back, it's sad that my language classes when I was younger were conducted in a manner similar to this. As I observed as well, this is how most language learning apps operate. Nevertheless, it's nice to know that, at the very least, this is effective in teaching proper pronunciation. Drills are quite beneficial as well if the goal is the automaticity of skills.

I've realized that, however, audiolingualism is a failure, yet it is one of the perspectives that helped me acquire language skills when I was young through drill activities and repetition of basic habits. (Coro, Jan Marchan B. III-1 BEE)
Most of my elementary teachers use this teaching approach in our English class. However, I find this approach ineffective since learners only tend to memorize the structure without really understanding the meaning or context of the sentence. Because of the strategy my previous teachers employed, I struggled, later on, to create meaningful sentences, especially during discourse.

Audiolingualism is an effective strategy for subjects that require verbal interaction or performances . We have to consider also that different learners have different learning needs. ( Charell Boncales ELE701 term1s1 LisQuP)
This approach focuses on the idea that we learn through habits and imitations. This can be helpful to language teacher that would eventually teach students the correct pronunciation of words. (Francisco , BEE

Audiolingualism is an approach to language teaching inspired by the Behaviorism Theory. It uses drills and auditory materials to teach learners new language habits. However, it has been criticized by prominent theorists due to its ineffectiveness. Hence, it is only considered applicable to pronunciation training.
(Clemor, Tricia Pat P., III-1 BEE)
Audiolingualism is a nice method to use when teaching pronunciation but as the video said, it can also risk the students' learning when it comes to the meaning of words. I suggest that we, as teachers, should combine other method to this to make sure we can effectively teach language. (Christel Marie Pael, II-17)
Mimicry through drills and repetition is a common strategy in language teaching. Although it has been criticized, it did help me in terms of pronunciation of Filipino words since my first language is Cebuano.

I am currently enrolled to a French class and I agree that Audio ligualism is still useful in learning pronunciation. RUclips and google helps me know how to say the words in French and I mimic it but I admit that it does not teach me anything aside from pronunciation.
GEBORA, JEA MELISSA T.

Audio-lingualism is indeed helpful to hone students’ skills in terms of pronunciation and articulation. However, it has the tendency to prioritize form rather than meaning which should be kept in mind while in the use of this method for language teaching. (Laguros, II-3)
Although we can say that Audio-lingualism does help students with their pronounciation, it's important to also improve their language competencies and develop better activities to minimize their errors.
Sabanal Janen Nicole BEE II-3
I have had teachers in junior high school that focused more on how we speak and did not really taught anything about grammar and it was a failure too because we did not really grow as multilinguals.

Audiolingualism's best area is pronunciation, which one could best use in teaching. Support from another school of thought about language learning should suffice what audiolingual lacks.
Bollosa, Angelo U.
III-1 BEE
Audio-lingualism is frequently seen in lower grades. It may be helpful in instilling new language habits but teachers must be aware of using this kind of approach because they might be unconscious of manipulating the language and worse, students rely too much on them.

Terez, Louise Angeli C. / II-17 BMSEE
Though audiolingualism does not really of help when it comes to fluency in learning new language, it is still helpful as there are languages that require a learner to have good pronunciation of words for intelligibility. (Monarez, BEE II-3)
Now, the drills and repetition done by my previous teachers actually make sense because of audiolingualism. And though audiolingualism is helpful in terms of learning the pronunciation, the content, however, is set aside.

Because of its disadvantage, Audiolingualism must be used strategically. Teachers who use this must consider a learning context before integrating it in teaching activities.
