The grammar-translation method focuses on grammar and vocabulary, with an emphasis on memorization and translation between the native and target languages. Students play a passive role, following the teacher's instructions to translate texts, learn rules deductively, and do fill-in-the-blank exercises. There is no speaking or listening practice in the target language.
