Define the difference between Approach, Method and techniques

E.Antony identified three levels of conceptualization and organization, which he named approach, method and technique, According to his model: approach is the level at which assumptions and beliefs about language and language learning are specified; methods the level at which theory is put into practice and at which choices are made about particular skills to be taught, the content to be taught, and the order in which the content will be presented; techniques a level at which classroom procedures are described.
Approach is considered to be the, theory about the feature of language and language learning that stands as the source of practices and principles in language teaching.

    The background of ALM
    

This teaching technique was initially called the Army Method, and was the first to be based on linguistic theory and behavioral psychology, developed during World War II at the University of Michigan in order to rapidly develop effective oral-aural skills in foreign languages for military personnel.
Charles Fries and Robert Lado are credited with the association of behaviorist psychology and a contrastive structural analysis of the target language to produce the following principles for foreign language learning:
Foreign language learning is basically a process of mechanical habit formation. Good habits are formed by giving correct responses rather than by making mistakes. By memorizing dialogues and performing pattern drills the chances of producing mistakes are minimized.
Language skills are learned more effectively if the items to be learning in the target language are presented in spoken form before they are seen in written form.
