 Grammar Translation Method hampers speakers’ ability to speak fluently -

evaluate this statement.

“Grammar Translation Method (GTM) hampers speaker’s ability to speak fluently” – this
statement is true by the basis of some point. The points are given below:

1. No oral work takes place in the classroom due to this method. Only teacher speaks.
2. The main focus remains only on the mother-tongue and the target language remains
ignored.
3. No Speaking in the target language is possible. The only thrust remains on the reading.
4. The students don't develop the power of thinking in the target language. They become
mentally lazy.
5. It doesn't help the students to learn correct pronunciation of English Language of the
target language.
6. Main emphasis is given on the Rules of Grammar.
7. Students try to do everything by translating.
8. This method doesn't involve the students mentally and it is just like story telling
method.
I think this points are the reasons of disability to speak fluently of a stop speaker
