Application of grammar-translation method in teaching English

Tóm tắt

The technology-dominated world has recently broken all communication barriers and dramatically changed the way people communicate in every corner of the world. Learning of second languages (L2) consequently, has become a necessity and in some cases, an inevitability to human beings. Of the widely used methods for second language teaching, the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM) has been, to a great extent, one of the most popular one all the time and is mainly used in all medium schools. Despite the fact that the success of using the GTM in foreign language teaching remains controversy, as a secondary high teacher, I think that it is still one of the suggested and preferred methods in our Asian culture in general, in Vietnam context in particular.
