(A)Task-Based Instruction
(B)Total Physical Response
(C)Community Language Learning
(D)Situational Language Teaching

Situational Language Teaching is characterized by two major features:

• Focus on vocabulary and reading are the most salient traits of SLT.  In fact, mastery of a set of high-frequency vocabulary items is believed to lead to good reading skills.
• An analysis of English and a classification of its prominent grammatical structures into sentence patterns, also called situational tables, is believed to help learners internalize grammatical rules.

The behavioristic view of language learning constitutes the cornerstone of Situation Language Teaching. The approach gives primacy to the processes over the conditions of learning. The following processes are noted in this approach:

1. The act of receiving  knowledge or material
2. Repetition to fix that knowledge or material in memory.
3. The use of the knowledge or material in actual practice until it becomes a personal skill.
