As an emerging teaching approach, Dogme is proposed to oppose the excessive reliance on textbooks and technologies in language teaching and is compatible with theories underlying a number of contemporary teaching approaches. However, the existing studies on the applicability of Dogme have failed to support each other, which need to be further analyzed and summarized. In this paper, the theoretical principles of Dogme are briefly summarized by discussing the similarities and differences between Dogme and several contemporary teaching approaches, and then major studies on Dogme both at home and abroad are reviewed and summarized by discussing its applicability. This paper points out that the combination of Dogme and mainstream teaching methods in different educational environments is comparatively effective and is widely welcomed by teachers and students.
