Abstract

In English language teaching methodologies, they are very crucial elements to make teaching learning more effective. They were started by different scholars hundred years before due to the time and the importance of them. Thus, they were made due to the difference of one method over the others and selections were made relay on the contents taught in the classroom and the situation where the teachers and students were. And it is believed that there are no absolute methodologies available everywhere and they all are important based up on the contents to be taught. However, it was considered as traditional methods of teaching that was not important for methods of teaching and didn’t have any collocations with others methods. Hence, grammar translation method is one of the methods used before those all method and it is considered as traditional or classical method because of the reason that its focus is on teaching Latin and Greek language. The fail of this method open chances for the others methods and currently it is one of the methods used intact with all methods. In nut shell, this paper gives information of the grammar translation method different from the others method uniquely and might give adequate ideas on the bases of teaching and learning context. Hence, every contents of this paper will give subsequent ideas about the theory of grammar translation method in language teaching.
