The document discusses the history and evolution of language teaching methods from the Grammar Translation Method and Direct Method used in the early 20th century to more modern, communicative approaches. It presents quotes advocating getting language out of the textbook and into real-life use and interaction between students. The role of the teacher is described as a guide rather than sole focus of the classroom. Different methods represent configurations of the same basic options between structural and communicative language teaching.
