Speaking or any kind of spontaneous creative output was missing from the curriculum. Students lacked an active role in the classroom. Very little attention is paid to communication. Very little attention is paid to content. Process of learning only focus in speaking. Because of all these disadvantages, instructors tried to find better ways to remedy the pitfalls of the audiolingual method.
4. The Application of Audiolingual Method in Teaching Reading for Junior High School
In applying Audiolingual Method for teaching speaking, I will take the material about daily conversation. The Material is for first grade of Junior High School. As we know, in teaching speaking the students must try to speak English about something based on the material in order to improve their speaking ability, I will use Audiolingual Method and help the students to improve speaking ability through dialogue, so the students able to speak English very well.
1) I will do the brainstorming to catch the students’ attention.
2) I will explain about how to make a dialogue.
3) I will give the students an example of dialogue and ask them try to make a dialogue.
4) After the students try to make a dialogue and ask them come in front of the classroom and show the dialogue to their friends.
