In Sudha's classroom she uses her students’ first or main language to explain the grammar and vocabulary of the text and then she helps them translate it. Sudha is relying on method to help her students learn English.

Correct option is C

Sudha’s approach aligns with the Grammar Translation Method (GTM), where the teacher explains grammar rules and vocabulary in the students' native language and focuses on translating texts. This method emphasizes translation from the target language (English) into the students’ native language, which helps learners understand the structure of the new language.

Information Booster:

1. The Grammar Translation Method is one of the oldest methods used for teaching foreign languages.
2. It prioritizes reading and writing over speaking and listening skills.
3. Grammar rules are explicitly taught and practiced through translation exercises.
4. Vocabulary is often learned in the form of isolated word lists.
5. This method is less focused on conversational fluency, often leading to less proficiency in speaking.

Additional Knowledge:

• Structural Method (A): Focuses on teaching language through a set of patterns and structures. Language is learned in chunks (phrases or sentences) rather than isolated words or grammar rules.
• Communicative Language Teaching (B): Emphasizes communication and interaction in real-life situations, promoting fluency over accuracy in the early stages of learning.
• Direct Method (D): Focuses on immersing students in the target language without translation. It encourages learners to think and communicate in the new language through demonstration, actions, and visual aids rather than their native language.
