TEACHING PRACTICE USING AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD (ALM)

In language teaching, there are some methods that can be used by teacher to teach her/his students, e.g. Audio-Lingual Method, Grammar Translation Method, Suggestopedia, etc. Even though some of them may not be applied now, but it's important for us, as an English teacher, to know more about these methods as a reference or additional knowledge.
