A disadvantage to using the grammar translation method for language acquisition is:
A
Students are able to learn languages easily
B
Students are engaged and on task
C
Not learner centered
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No oral work takes place in the class room due to this method. Only teacher speaks. 2. The main focus remains only on the mother-tongue and the target language remains ignored.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the major disadvantages of GTM is that it restricts the skills of speaking and listening to a foreign language. The natural order of learning any language is listening, speaking, reading, and writing. But, in GTM, reading is facilitated first.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is an extremely teacher-centered method of teaching. Learners need to be able to read the literature written in the target language and learn all the relevant vocabulary and grammar. Learners do not play any active role and there is little learner–learner interaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Grammar-translation and related modern language teaching methods don’t work because they’re predicated on a mistake about what is going on when you learn a language.

Detailed explanation-5: -They have to translate literary text form target language to his or her native language and sometimes vice-versa. In a nutshell, students do not concentrate on listening and speaking, and the role of learners becomes such as group participant, reader, writer, rote-learner, and translator.
