The Audio-Lingual method, which was proposed by American linguists in 1950s, was developed from the principle that a language is first of all a system of sounds for social communication

CONCLUSION
In conclusion one can say that the Audio-Lingual Method differs from other methods in its effectiveness. The use of dialogues and drills are effective in foreign language teaching as they lead the students to produce speech. It unlike the Direct Method, has a strong theoretical base in linguistics and psychology. Never be afraid to create a new method for yourself. The idea that one method is right for everyone is wrong. The Audio-Lingual Method and Speech Development.The Audio-Lingual method focuses on oral skills. It aims to improve students’ speaking achievement. Language items are presented to students in spoken form without reference to the mother tongue so that they can learn language skills effectively. The goal of the Audio-Lingual method is, via teaching vocabulary and grammatical patterns through dialogues, to enable students to respond quickly and accurately in spoken language. The dialogues are learnt through repetition and such drills as repetition, backward build-up, chain, substitution, transformation, and question-and-answer are conducted based upon the patterns in the dialogue . Tim Bowen explains the contributions of this method to language learning as: “Most teachers will at some point require learners to repeat examples of grammatical structures in context with number of aims in mind: stress, rhythm, intonation, ‘consolidating the structure’, enabling learners to use the structure accurately through repetition, etc. Question and answer in open class or closed pairs to practise a particular form can also be argued to have its basis in the audio-lingual approach, as can, without doubt, any kind of drill.” Nunan is of the opinion that Audio-Lingual method “has probably had a greater impact on second and foreign language teaching than any other method. It was, in fact, the first approach which could be said to have developed a ‘technology’ of teaching and based on ‘scientific’ principles”.
The Audio-Lingual Method aims to develop communicative competence of students using dialogues and drills. The use of dialogues and drills are effective in foreign language teaching as they lead the students to produce speech. Repetition of the dialogues and the drills will enable students to respond quickly and accurately in spoken language.

In conclusion that Audio-Lingual Method teaching is very important for increasing speaking skills. In line with the result, the writer suggests that the Audio-Lingual Method is one of the effective methods as to increase students' enthusiasm in learning English.The Audio-Lingual Method focuses on speaking and listening competence stressing repetition and habit formation to learn a second or a foreign language. This method make the learner understand the second language by memorizing and practice speaking with drilling from the people communication.
The goal of the Audio- Lingual method is, via teaching vocabulary and grammatical patterns through dialogues, to enable students to respond quickly and accurately in spoken language.The objective of the audiolingual method is accurate pronunciation and grammar, the ability to respond quickly and accurately in speech situations and knowledge of sufficient vocabulary to use with grammar patterns.
