The Dialogue Approach
To communicate rapidly and effectively in a foreign language

Since each of us comes to the process of learning a foreign language in a different way, often with conflicting priorities and needs, it is virtually impossible to claim that one “perfect” learning method even exists.

Highly Pragmatic Framework

If the Dialogue approach, though it is of relatively recent origin, has seen major success, it is because it has striven from the beginning to be as natural as possible. In reading this article, however, it may become clear that the method, while not attempting to base itself on current pedagogical ideas, nevertheless mirrors and indeed refines a good deal of current thinking on language learning. If the method hasn’t fallen prey to the excesses that plague most of today’s methodologies, it is probably because it has always kept to a highly pragmatic framework.
