Questão 96672

A key criticism leveled against the Traditional Method is its neglect of oral skills. While modern approaches emphasize interaction and fluency, the Grammar-Translation Method prioritized reading and writing, treating the language more as a static object of study than a dynamic tool for communication. In this context, evaluate the following statements regarding the treatment of pronunciation and listening comprehension within this method:

I. Pronunciation is taught systematically from the beginning, with drills and exercises to ensure students achieve native-like accent.

II. Listening comprehension is a peripheral skill, typically addressed only through the teacher reading texts aloud, which students are then expected to translate.

III. The primary language of instruction in the classroom is the students' native tongue, which minimizes the need for both teacher and student to rely on aural/oral skills in the target language.

Which statements are correct?
