The Grammar-Translation method requires the learner to spend a lot of time understanding the language structure. Listening and speaking suffer because of this. Understanding the structure is helpful in reading and particularly in writing. Grammar and vocabulary are emphasized throughout. This is the method of choice for large groups because control of the class is easier. It also is used when writing is most important.

The Audio-Lingual Method also allows the learner to communicate quickly but within the limited range that the repetition allows. It gives a good comprehension only if the speaker uses what the learner has studied. Reading is limited, and an understanding of how to use the language is very limited. This is the method that is used when a live trainer is not available.
