Grammar-Translation method 
A way of teaching in which learners study grammar and translate words and texts into their own language or the 
target language. They do not practise communication and there is little focus on speaking. A teacher presents a 
grammar rule and vocabulary lists and then learners translate a written text from their own language into the second 
language or vice versa. See communicative approaches. 
 
Grammatical structure 
A grammatical structure is a grammatical language pattern, e.g. present perfect simple. See form. 
 
Graph 
A drawing that uses a line or lines to show how two or more set of numbers are related to each other, e.g. 
 
Greet 
To welcome someone, often with words, e.g. Hello, how are you?
