Answer 1

Answer:

B. It limits learners to textbook knowledge without practical use

• Lessons are based on artificial sentences and translation exercises, not real-life dialogue.

• Learners struggle to apply what they've learned in daily interactions.

• The method doesn’t simulate authentic language use.
