Grammar Translation vs. CLT: 1 • Focus on learning the rules of grammar and their application • Vocabulary in L2 is learned through direct translation from L1 • Translation as a means of explanation of meaning • Little or no attention to pronunciation • Use of L1 as medium of instruction
Grammar Translation vs. CLT: 2 • Focus on communicating: first speech then text • Performance first … • … explanation last • Heavy emphasis on pronunciation • Use of L2 as medium of instruction
Grammar Bytes • What do you think of the explanation about verbs? • Who is it for?
