Language, as one of the typically human characteristics, has been subject to great scientific study for over a long time. Already at the time when Latin was the dominant language in Europe theorists studied the language from several perspectives. At that time, however, only receptive skills were studied, as people learned the language through literature and writing only, which was then followed by a detailed study of grammar. In this grammar-translation method, as P.M. Lightbown (1985, 173) observes, “the main activity was focused on written translation, and no attention was given to the actual communicative use of the language in question”. Later on, when English took over as the most widely used language worldwide; it adopted the same methods for studying and teaching language as Latin. It was assumed that grammar-translation method proved its efficiency through time thanks to its dominant status and thus had to be a high-quality method.
