In my informal observation and experience of foreign language learning in classrooms, it seems to me that speech-led approaches to language instruction are far more popular than comprehension-led.
Speech-led approaches - those approaches to language learning that involve dialogue memorization, vocabulary list memorization, repeating after a teacher, or approaches such as the LAMP method which takes a less formal and more interactive approach to language learning. Many of these approaches have their roots in audio-lingualism which was birthed out of behaviorist psychology.
Tomorrow, I will post about comprehension-led approaches.
