An article discussing the grammar-translation approach to language learning. At the height of the Communicative Approach to language learning in the 1980s and early 1990s it became fashionable in some quarters to deride so-called "old-fashioned" methods and‚ in particular‚ something broadly labelled "Grammar Translation".

The Grammar Translation Method The Grammar translation method‚ or classical method started when people wanted to read literature written in the target language. Its focus was on grammatical rules‚ the memorization of vocabulary and of various declensions and conjugations‚ translations of texts‚ doing written exercises. Rules of grammar‚ not the language itself‚ are all important. Verb declensions are set out tables‚ vocabulary lists to be learned‚ leading to translation from mother tongue into

generative grammar refers to a particular approach to the study of syntax. A generative grammar of a language attempts to give a set of rules that will correctly predict which combinations of words will form grammatical sentences. In most approaches to generative grammar‚ the rules will also predict the morphology of a sentence.[citation needed] Generative grammar arguably originates in the work of Noam Chomsky‚ beginning in the late 1950s. However‚ Chomsky has said that the first generative grammar in the
