Abstract

The article deals with the grammar translation method in teaching English to university students. The constantly developing English language syllabus requires additional didactic materials, and the grammar translation method can be an excellent source of Russian-to-English translation exercises. The authors highlighted the relevance of certain competences for university students that major in foreign languages, as well as the related teaching approaches. They reviewed various definitions of grammar competence and its criteria. The article introduces a typology of mistakes, each type provided with a list of exercises. Some mistakes result from the difference in the linguistic worldviews and grammar. The effectiveness of the grammar translation method was proved experimentally.
