This document discusses the use of the grammar translation method for teaching English in junior high school. It presents the problem that students focus only on grammar rules and translation rather than English use. The hypothesis is that using games, songs and real-world objects without translation could make English classes more engaging and help students learn grammar through practice rather than memorization. The study aims to describe the current grammar translation method used and find alternative ways to avoid translation and increase student attention in English classes.

2. INTRODUCTION
There are many methods that are usually
used by teachers to teach foreign
language.
One of them is grammar translation
method. Grammar translation method
are used to teach grammar in the class,
focused on translation and memorizing
verb conjugations and forms, and given
in native language.

3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Students are focuses only in the
learning of grammar rules and their
application translating to Spanish.

4. JUSTIFICATION AND SIGNIFICANCE.
Justification: This study is from students
who are in English classes in junior high
school in which teacher translate the
classes.
Significance: This study is important
because help to solve an educational
problem like the lack of attention of
students in English classes.

5. HYPOTHESIS
WORKING HYPOTHESIS: Teacher have
to implement the vocabulary in English using
games, song or realia taking into account
grammar without translation while they are
teaching. The English class can be more fun if
the student do not memorize the grammar
rules but they put them in to practice in order
they can use it spontaneously.
NULE HYPOTHESIS: There are not any
activities, no techniques that the teacher can
use for students not memorize grammar rules
either translate the whole class.

is: Using realia in the English class.
