    actions.
    • No speaking is required until learners are ready to speak. This
    resembles first language acquisition.
    • Basic listening and speaking skills are taught.
    • Language items or sentences are presented in order gradually
    to help learners remember.
    • Imperative is the central element of language use and learning.
