The Grammar-Translation Method is not new. Earlier in this century, this method was used for the purpose of helping students read and appreciate foreign language literature. It was also hope that, through the study of the grammar of the target language, students would become more familiar with the grammar of their native language and that is familiarity would help them speak and write their native language better.
According to the teachers who use the Grammar-translation Method, a fundamental purpose of learning a foreign language is to be able to read literature written in the target language. To do this, the students need to learn about the grammar rules and vocabulary of the target language. In addition, it is believed that studying a foreign language provides students with good mental and exercise which helps develop their minds.
