concepts in the second language through the "Total Physical
Response" (TPR).
"Early Production" - The student can communicate through the
use of one or two words.
Speech Emergence "- At this stage, the student can use to
communicate simple linguistic structures.
"Intermediate Fluency" - The student has acquired sufficient
command of language to express themselves fluently and
accurately.
ORAL APPROACH

steps initial, reading must come from the oral practice.
COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH

teachers; they use grammatical forms.

with emphasis on a structured language.
