    The document discusses the Grammar Translation Method, which focuses on translating between languages and learning grammar rules. Key characteristics include using the student's native language as the medium of instruction, teaching grammar deductively through rules and translation exercises, and emphasizing accuracy over communication skills. While this method is effective for reading comprehension and memorizing rules, it does not develop students' communicative competence in the target language since classes are taught in the native language and active use of the target language is limited.

    Literature Review

    1. Grammar Translation Method


    Grammar Translation Method is one of method that focus on the translation from one
    language into another language and learning the rule of grammar. According to Celce-
    Murcia (2001) Grammar-Translation approach is an extension of the approach used to
    teach classical language to the teaching of modern languages. This method is called as
    Classical method since it was first used in teaching language. Furthermore, teaching using
    Grammar Translation Method, it begins with rules of grammar, isolated vocabulary items,
    then translation from one language to another language. Moreover, pronunciation is limited
    to taught and grammar rules are memorized with giving the sentence illustrations.

    According to Jack Richards (2006:6) There are some principle as the characteristic

    of the Grammar Translation Method :

    1. The goal of foreign language is to learn a language in order to read its literature or in
    order to benefit from the mental discipline and intellectual development that result from
    foreign language study.
    2. Reading and writing are the major focus; little or no systematic attention is paid to
    speaking or listening.
    3. Vocabulary selection is based on the reading texts used, and words are taught through
    bilingual word list, dictionary study and memorization.
    4. The sentence is the basic unit of teaching and language practice.
    5. Accuracy is emphasized.
    6. Grammar is taught deductively that is, presentation and study of grammar rules, which
    are then practiced through translation exercises.
    7. The student’s native language is the medium of instruction. It is used to explain new
    items and to enable comparison to be made between the foreign language and student’s
    native language.
    However, teaching using Grammar Translation Method cannot develop the
    competence of communicative for students. Students are good at memorizing rules and
    translating the text, but they lacking in skill of communication using English. By using
    this method, teachers are taught the language using mother tongue and the using of
    target language is less active. Based on Brown (1987: 78) Characteristic of the
    Grammar Translation Method are:
    1. Classes are taught in the mother tongue, with little active use of the target language
    2. Much vocabulary is taught in the form of list of isolated words
    3. Long elaborate explanations of grammar are given
    4. Grammar provides the rules of putting word together, and instruction often focuses
    on the form and inflection of words
    5. Reading of difficulties classical texts is begun early
    6. Little attention is paid to the content of the text, which are treated as exercise in
    grammatically analysis
    7. Often the only drills are exercises in translating disconnected sentences the target
    language into the mother tongue
    8. Little or no attention is given to pronunciation
    9. The focus is on accuracy and not fluency
