Vocabulary - rich input: Students hear/see high - frequency words in context to build mental “chunks. ”
🆚 Difference from Other Approaches
Versus Audiolingual: No pattern drills or forced repetition.

Versus Grammar - Translation: Focuses on meaning and listening, not translation.
🎯 Why Teachers Use It
Reduces learner stress.
Builds a strong mental model of the language.
