The document discusses the Grammar Translation Method of teaching foreign languages. It focuses on accuracy over fluency by having students translate between the target language and their native language. The primary skills are reading and writing, with classes taught in the mother tongue. Grammar rules are central to the method so students can learn to construct sentences. However, the experience can be mechanical and tedious for students.
