4. zObjectives of the study:-
The following are the objectives of my research study which I have tried to
address:
1:- To develop the usage of GTM in educational institution.
2:- To examine the effectiveness of GTM in learning English language
3: To evaluate the learning concept by students through a GTM.
Research Question:-
Q: - What are the effectiveness of GTM in learning English language?
Q: - How are the learning concept by students through a GTM?
Q: - Why is usage of GTM is so important in education institutions?
5. zStatement of the study:-
I have identified the problem during my practicum in Govt. PC (Urdu) section
school attached with Government Elementary college of Education (women)
(GECE(W)) Hyderabad. I faced multi furious problem at primary level owing to
lacking few drawbacks Since they were beginner level of students, they just
started learning English. And also, they had a set of syllabuses and two exams in a
year, class test, oral test and much more. And they had literature with work and
also a grammar book. When I started speaking in English, I notice some of them
did not understand anything as a result they were not being interested to
communicate but some of them responded a lot. So, I translated my all my
sentences in L 1 for the ~students to understand better like, so by observing their
situations and level I decided to teach them by grammar translation method
(GTM) method. I think that in Pakistani concept GTM is applicable and whatever
students learn from school is by Grammar translation Method. I also observed the
other classes of that school like class five, seven, and eight and I found that
teachers were pretty typical they were only focused in completing the syllabus
and then gave exercises comprehensions, question answers etc. So, I decided to
work on GTM.
