Grammar Translation Method

The document discusses traditional language teaching methods, particularly the Grammar Translation Method. This method focuses heavily on grammatical rules, memorization of vocabulary, and translation exercises with little active use of the target language. It involves long explanations of grammar followed by reading difficult texts and learning vocabulary through isolation rather than use. This methodology was standard but began facing reforms at the start of the 20th century.
