Concept:The Grammar-Translation method focuses on reading, writing, and grammar rules in the mother tongue, but it does not develop speaking or listening skills.
Explanation:This method teaches a language by explaining grammar rules in the learner's mother tongue.
Students translate sentences between the mother tongue and the target language.
It gives high importance to grammar and vocabulary memorization.
The mother tongue is used heavily in instruction.
However, the method ignores oral communication and fluency.
Learners rarely practice speaking or listening in real-life situations.
As a result, their communicative skill is not improved.
The method does not enhance the ability to speak or understand the language naturally.
So, among the options, the one that the Grammar-Translation method does
not do is to improve communication skills.
Answer:Option C – "enhance a student's communicative skill" is correct.
