alleryIn the grammar-translation method, learners mainly:
APractise dialogues in pairs
BTranslate using set rules
CLearn through action games
DHold free group discussions
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Translate using set rules
1. Grammar-translation classes teach grammatical rules first.
2. Students then apply the rules by translating sentences between the target and native languages.
3. So translation with rules is the main activity, not dialogue, games or free talk.
**Why not the others:** Dialogues, action games and free discussion are features of oral and communicative methods, not of grammar-translation.
