  1. It's pretty interesting, I mean, the way it's presented. "learn having fun during some drama event" thing surelly sounds like fun to me. I just find it hard to digest the idea of learning writing AFTER speaking... I don't know, maybe it's because we brazilians learned this way. The easy-to-spot similarities are the ways it is presented, in a immersion of sound. The student will then, react in his(her) own level of knowledge. This strategy seems to give a lot of importance to imagination (recognition of representative images) which is very used in audiolingual method, well at least not in the same level. I do need to reach further in this method to fully understand it though, this video gave me a real nice insight in the matter.

  4. I read the article and I guess it is a good way to teaching, but we would have to change the curren school plan. Honestly I would like to teach on this way. Our way to teaching wouldn't be too bad If our students knew the full portuguese grammar.

  5. Well, from what I could tell by looking at the methods and Audiolingual Gouin, the main similarity between them is learning a new vocabulary through repetition of dialogues.
    Since the differences are as follows: In the method Audiolingual presents the dialogue in phrases, the students repeat individually and in chorus, dialogue is memorized after a few models are selected with judgment and works on top of that through the repetition of drills . The role of the student is passive and it is not encouraged to take initiative.
    And in the Gouin method, students have more freedom to run the dialogues, verbs inserting pieces of language, grammar or even words of his own culture. First the students hear, speak, and finally learn how to read and to write.

  6. The Series Method was created by Gouin and taught learners directly and conceptually a "series" of connected sentences. It is similar to the Audiolingual Method for to be taught without to use grammatical rules and for to use very little the mother tongue. It is different from the Audiolingual Method for to be presented like a series of connected sentences and to focus the four abilities while the ALM is presented in dialogue form and it focuses the oral abilities.

  7. The two methods are similar, while the method Audiolingual leads the learner to communicate in the language studied through conditioning of the. However the Gouin Series language as the author says "is presented in a context controlled." These two methods means that the learner develops in contact with the foreign language vocabulary through exposure to it.

  9. É bem interessante os dois métodos.O método audiolingual o aluno precisa ser estimulado, ou seja, ele aprende através do condicionamento. Já no método Gouin possibilita que o aluno seja apresentado as quatros habilidades, podendo obter uma maior liberdade para aprender o que lhe é apresentado.

  10. Esse método Gouin é muito interessante porque dá a possibilidade de se trabalhar as quatro habilidades de uma forma mais natural, enquanto no método audiolingual o aluno recebe um determinado estímulo, afim de repetir-lo posteriormente. o aluno, no método audiolingual, aprende através de condicionamento.

  12. O método Audiolingual apresenta o diálogo em que os alunos repetem juntos e individualmente, o diálogo é memorizado trabalhado na repetição dos exercícios. O foco é na fala Prática e repetição, a gramática é apenas um coadjuvante através de pequenas explicações ou referencias. E no método Gouin, os alunos têm mais liberdade para executar os diálogos, os verbos e são inseridos pedaços de gramática na linguagem, ou mesmo palavras de sua própria cultura. Primeiro os alunos ouvem, falam, e, finalmente, aprendem a ler e escrever. É semelhante ao método Audiolingual para ser ensinado sem usar as regras gramaticais e de usar muito pouco a língua materna.

  13. The two method are similar because it’s focus on vocabulary acquisition, and at the same time are differents, because they work the four abilities at different sequence.

  14. The method developed by Gouin seems to be a great deal to whom studies a foreign language with the conversation purposes.
    I wonder if it would work in a classroom where is taught just basic notion of the language, without enough time or where the second language is just for reading and comprehension purposes.
    About the AudioLingual method, it depends more of the teacher to be succesfully developed, depending on this one's skills, because students follow him/her with pronunciation of whatś spoken in the class.
