Which method uses only the target language (L2) in the classroom and includes drills?

• A. Direct Method
• B. Silent Way
• C. Total Physical Response
• D. Audiolingual Method

Answer: (D)

The element being tested is an approach that builds automatic language responses through pattern-based practice in the target language. In the audiolingual method, students speak only in L2 during class, avoiding translation or explanations in the native language. Learning happens through repeated drills—pattern drills, substitution, transformations, and dialogue practice—so correct forms become habits through immediate practice and feedback. This method is grounded in behaviorist ideas: language is learned by forming automatic responses via structured repetition rather than by analyzing rules. Other approaches may emphasize real-time communication, discovery, or physical actions, but the defining combo of exclusive L2 use and heavy, systematic drilling points to the audiolingual method.
