 * 1. Language Teaching Methods: Audiolingual Method (Parts 1 & 2):** These video clips model the use of the Audiolingual Method in an intermediate-level English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. They were recorded and made possible through the former United States Information Agency (USIA), which existed from 1953 to 1999. I included these two clips on my Wikispaces page because of the high-quality portrayal of the method.

 * 2. ALM:** In this video clip, a non-native English speaking instructor models the use of the Audiolingual Method in what appears to be an upper-intermediate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. While the clip deviates slightly from the textbook description of the Audiolingual Method, overall it offers a solid example of how to teach a language class using the method. For this reason, I decided to include it on my Wikispaces page.

 * 3. Audiolingual Method:** Although this video clip does not have sound, it provides relevant information about the Audiolingual Method including: 1) the history behind its development; 2) its approach, design, and procedures; and 3) criticism surrounding it. I elected to feature it on my Wikispaces Page because it provides textual information about the Audiolingual Method which complements the three demonstration videos provided.
