The Grammar Translation Method has been in use for centuries and was one of the earliest approaches to language instruction. It primarily focuses on teaching the rules of grammar and the translation of texts between the native language and the target language, often with a focus on literary and classical texts.
This method was widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially for teaching classical languages like Latin and Greek, and it also found its way into English language instruction.
Example: The teacher might present a sentence in English, such as "The cat is on the table."
The students are asked to translate the sentence into their native language. So, in this case, they would translate "The cat is on the table" into Hindi, which might be "बिल्ली मेज पर है|"
