The audio-lingual teaching method is defined as a method that emphasizes on repetition of words to help the students to understand the use of the target language communicatively. The objective of this thesis is to measure the studentsâ€™ accomplishment in increasing their English vocabulary after using the audio-lingual method and to find the benefits of using the audio-lingual method in increasing the vocabulary for students. In finishing this research, the method used is class action research by applying mixed methods.
