THE SITUATIONAL LANGUAGE TEACHING


Hello friends, how is it going?
The situational language teaching has similarities with previous seen methods such as the audio lingual method; these methods hold that the learning is a habit formation; that is to say, that students will learn and will develop their abilities through the process. I consider this is an effective theory that would do the trick on beginners or scholar systems because when teaching an academic learning, students must be taught the integral knowledge by rehearsing their skills and not by waiting they learn the target language through a habit that might be belated or the student doesn’t acquire as it is expected.


It says students should avoid mistakes, which is important and drags students into an investigative learning in order to avoid errors. This approach makes emphasis on speaking abilities which is similar to audio lingual method, so it concerns about students who speak skillfully.

  1. Hello Henry,

    in class we were commenting about correcting mistakes in the moment students make them or just let the students talk without correcting those mistakes, as a student how would you prefer your teachers correct your language errors?

    As a teacher, when would you correct errors? right after students make them or let them go and focus just on the fact that they communicate.
