Description: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is identified as dismissing translation, applying to all "translation" the restricted expression of translation within the discredited Grammar Translation Method (GTM). Recent, negative classifications of the GTM are considered and, this dissertation observes, the concept of the GTM is shown as prone to being mythologized. A summary definition of the GTM is offered.
Notes: Keywords: GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD, L2 INSTRUCTION, REFORM MOVEMENT, SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, TRANSLATION, Viëtor.
