The learning theory underlying the Audio lingual Method is behaviorism,that all learning occurs as humans respond to external stimuli and their response is either rewarded or punished, which serves to increase or decrease the behavior. Psychologist B. F. Skinner. Brooks (1964) explained how behaviorist theory was to be applied in the classroom, with teachers providing linguistic stimuli in the form of dialogues and drills," reinforcing students" correct responses, and correcting their errors.
