alleryIn audio-lingualism, grammar is:
AExplained by rules at length
BTaught by translation tasks
CLeft out of speech practice
DLearned through memorised drills
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Learned through memorised drills
1. The audio-lingual teacher presents a correct model sentence.
2. Students repeat it and then try new words in the same structure.
3. There is no explicit grammar instruction.
4. Everything is simply memorised in form until students can use the pattern spontaneously.
5. So grammar is acquired through drills, not explanation.
6. The answer is learned through memorised drills.
**Why the other options fail:**
- Long rule explanation is what the method avoids.
- Translation tasks belong to grammar-translation.
- And grammar is practised constantly in the drills, not left out.
