TRANSMISSION
Teacher is a transmitter when he is just reading out text he is teaching his students in a shape of a class. Lecture is transmitted from teacher's mouth to students' minds. Reading from the text and transmitting it to the class. Students are mere passive listeners. There is no variation in the class arrangement. Teacher comes deliver lectures and goes back. A kind of grammar-translation method.

INTERPRETATION
Here teacher interprets, explains. Students are there to actively participate in the class. This approach is more students oriented. It is to develop creative thinking among students. Students can also interpret. They work in a group.There is discussion in the class.
