Abstract

Grammar translation teaching methodology has long been a dominant approach in language education, focusing on the explicit teaching of grammar rules and the translation of texts. However, this traditional method has been criticized for its limited effectiveness in developing communicative language skills and fostering meaningful language use. This article explores the problems associated with grammar translation teaching methodology and proposes potential solutions to address these issues.
