With Grammar-Translation method, the focus of teaching is reading and writing, especially reading. And the most common mode is 'lockstep', which is "the class grouping where all the students are working with the teacher, where all the students are 'locked into' the same rhythm and pace, the same activity." The teacher acts as 'controller' and 'assessor’ (Harmer 1983, p. 205). This learning mode has its own advantages. For example, everyone can hear what is being said; students can get a good language model from the teacher, etc.
However, some very important language learning elements are neglected in this mode. For example, talking, which is a very important means to improve learners' language proficiency especially in communicative sense, is neglected. With all the students working in one group, no pair work or group work, students get very little chance to speak. Brought up with this method, students’ English are often ‘dumb’ English, which means they cannot speak in English
