This is a revised and reorganized version of the first edition．originally published in 1986．More than half of the contents of this new edition has-been specially written for this edition．Since the first edition was pub．1ished．it has become one of the most widely referred to books on teaching methods．Since then，however, a great deal has happened in language teaching．In planning this new edition，we have therefore made a number of substantial changes． We have divided the book into three main parts： Part I deals with major trends in twentieth．century language teaching．The chapters in this section are substantially the same as those in the first edition but include an updated list of references．

Part II deals with alternative approaches and methods．This section describes approaches and methods that have attracted support at different times and in different places throughout the last 30 or so years．but have generally not been widely accepted or, in some cases，have not maintained substantial

followings．The chapters on Total Physical Response，the Silent Way, Community Language Learning，and Suggestopedia are shorter versions of chapters from the first edition．Additional and more recent references have been added tO these chapters．Because these methods are no longer widely used，a shorter treatment seemed appropriate．Readers requiring fuller discussion of these methods should consult the first edition．New chapters on Whole Language．Multiple Intelligences，Neurolinguistic Programming，the Lexical Approach，and Competency Based Language Teaching complete Part II．Although these latter appr6aches share some features with communicative approaches in Part III．we feel that they are Sufficiently distinct to be grouped with the other approaches discussed in Part II．

4 The Audio-lingual Method Background

The Coleman Report in 1 929 recommended a reading-based approach to foreign language teaching for use in American schools and colleges（Chapter 1）．This emphasized teaching the comprehension of texts．Teachers taught from books

containing short reading passages in the foreign language，preceded by lists of vocabulary．Rapid silent reading was the goal，but in practice teachers often resorted to discussing the content of the passage in English．Those involved in the teaching of English as a second language in the United States between the two world wars used either a modified Direct Method approach．a reading．based approach，or a reading ‘oral approach fDarian 1972）．Unlike the approach that was being developed by British applied linguists during the same period，there was little attempt to treat language content systematically．Sentence patterns and grammar were introduced at the whim of the textbook writer．There was no standardization of the vocabulary or grammar that was included．Neither was there a consensus on what grammar, sentence patterns，and vocabulary were most important for beginning，intermediate，or advanced learners． But the entry of the United States into World War II had a significant effect on language teaching in America．To supply the U．S．government with personnel who were fluent in German，French，Italian，Chinese，Japanese，Malay, and other languages，and who could work as interpreters．code-room assistants，and translators，it was necessary to set up a special language training program．The government commissioned American universities to develop foreign language programs for military personnel．Thus the Army Specialized Training Program（ASTP）was established in 1942．Fifty．five American universities were involved in the program by the beginning of 1943．
