Question

“Teaching is characterized by many factors, such as teachers’ beliefs, preferences, personalities, and one of the factors that mostly influences teaching is the method, which holds systematic procedures prescribed to the teacher based on linguistic theory or legal documents.” (Piazza, 2024, p.3)
According to Larsen-Freeman and Anderson (2011, p.38 apud PIAZZA, 2024, p. 5), in a class based on the Grammar-Translation method, the “fundamental purpose of learning a language is to be able to read literature written in the target language”.
Choose the item that IS NOT applied to the Grammar-Translation method.

Accepted Answer

E) The teacher has a passive role and is the authority in the classroom, and students follow his/her directions.

Answer

A) Students need to learn about the grammar rules and vocabulary of the target language. When this method is applied, most of the class students’ native language is used and translation activities are widespread.

Answer

B) Grammar is taught “deductively”; that is, students are given the grammar rules and examples, are told to memorize those rules, and then are asked to apply them to other examples.

Answer

C) Students also learn grammatical paradigms such as verb conjugations. The focus is on the written form of the language (reading and writing).

Answer

D) The spoken form (listening and speaking) is almost ignored, as this is not the focus of the method.
