Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The audio-lingual method is based on behaviorism and habit formation. It commonly uses repetition, drills, dialogues and the natural order of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Therefore, the statement “Language is not for communication” is not correct; language is ultimately used for communication, even though this method emphasizes habit formation and spoken patterns.
