2. The second video gives an example of how the Audiolingual Method is actually used. In the video an educator is using the Audiolingual Method to help her students learn words that express what they may like to do as well as provide an example of a conversation. She says a phrase or word and the students repeat it back to her. I chose this video because I liked how it provided an example of the method. I thought that the educator in the video did a good job of providing phrases for students to choose from so they would know what to say in the conversation taught towards the end of the video.
