What are the key principles of the Audio-lingual method?

1 perception of linguistic material should be direct rather than transferable, grammatical concepts are perceived intuitively

2 consolidate the material through imitation to teacher with maximum use of the analogy

3 native language is completely excluded from teaching

4 errors must be prevented at all costs in the course of instruction

5 students are surrounded many hours a day by the target language, which fosters the new language learning
