The Grammar Translation Method was first introduced in Germany and it was widely used in Europe for teaching English. It is also known as the Translation, Classical and Traditional method in English language teaching. It is used widely in Indian schools. In this method, the unit of teaching is the word and the teacher translates each and every word, phrase, and sentence of English into the mother tongue of the students.This method is one of the reasons of following standards of English in India. The steps are from formal to functional and the phraseology can be best assimilated into the interpretation.It explains grammatical rules therefore it gives correct knowledge of English. This method tries to establish a strong link between new ideas and old ideas and focuses on writing skills.Here, Ms. Shobha is using the Grammar Translation Method with her children as she is explaining the contents and the meaning of the new words in the mother tongue and also elaborating on the grammatical rules.?Hence, it is concluded that in the above-mentioned situation, Ms. Shobha is using the Grammar Translation Method.HintCommunicative Language Teaching is a method of language teaching which makes learners confident to communicate effectively by involving them in real communication.Structural-oral-situational approach is based on the principle that language is primarily speech and therefore all structures and vocabulary must be practiced orally before moving on to reading and writing.Silent Way is a skilled process that refers to accessing meaning without voicing the words that help the reader to comprehend the core sense of the written text. It helps to develop vocabulary, language acquisition, and reading efficiency.
