Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature for Secondary Schools By an arrangement of type the book is adapted for various courses of study. It will probably be enough for beginners to keep to the larger type, and it may even be advisable for the teacher to restrict their studies to a selection of the more important authors. In a book of this kind, involving the record of thou sands of facts, it is impossible that perfect accuracy can at once, if at last, be attained. It is as accurate, s0'far as it goes, as I have been able by a considerable amount of reading and study to make it. I shall be thankful to receive notes of correction, and any suggestions that I may be favored with will be carefully considered. In its preparation I have necessarily been indebted to many writers. Where my obligations are so manifold and various, it would be invidious to particularize them; but I cannot avoid expressing my indebtedness, direct or indirect, to the professorial teaching and published work of Professor Masson, of Edinburgh. Whatever of merit the book contains is largely due to him; the faults are my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of English in the Secondary School The present is beyond doubt a period of significant change in the field of secondary education. Under perfect conditions, gradual and continuous readjust ment to the changing demands of -a dynamic society should be characteristic of education at all times. In the past, however, perfect conditions have never obtained and in all probability the future will fail to provide them. The history of education shows clearly that the school does not promptly react to changes in social demands, that educational readjustment is seldom gradual, and that desirable changes in education, neglected for the time, gradually increase in number and importance until by the pressure of accumulated force they compel extensive and' radical reorganization at irregular intervals. There is every evidence that the present is one of those periods when the accumulation of long-needed changes is compel ling radical readjustment in the secondary school as well as in other departments of the system of educa tion.

Download or read book The Teaching of English Literature in Secondary Schools Classic Reprint written by R. S. Bate and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of English Literature in Secondary Schools This little book was originally projected by Mr. A. C. Guthkelch, of King's College, and was to be written by us in common. The pressure of other work prevented him from carrying out his share of the undertaking, and, at the request of the publishers, I took up the work alone. For the plan of the book I am mainly, and for the execution entirely, responsible. Mr. Guthkelch's originality and accurate scholarship would have produced a very different kind of book, and the chapters which follow can have little or nothing to offer to the trained teacher of literature; but there are many who, without special training, have to teach literature as a subsidiary subject, and to them these hints and suggestions of method may be useful. My aim has been practical guidance, rather than originality. Doubtless the results of my own reading will be found imbedded in what I have here written, and for this I need make no apology; I have not, however, consulted for this present purpose, nor consciously drawn upon any books of reference or histories of literature.

Download or read book A Method of English Vol 1 written by James Gow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Method of English, Vol. 1: For Secondary Schools This little book professes to be, not an English Grammar, but a course of English Lessons for the junior forms of Secondary Schools. It contains, indeed, all the grammar that is of any importance, but it contains other things too, and is written with a certain definite intention. It is intended for children who already Speak and write English fairly well, and who are beginning to learn another lan guage. Now, it is notorious that such children are apt to pre sume on their knowledge, and to neglect and despise the English lesson. Yet they cannot follow a long sentence, or understand poetical diction, and when they come to the syntax of a foreign language they blunder sadly from mere ignorance of the functions of words in their own language. Who, for instance, has ever taught the' use of prepositions with the infinitive in French, or of at with the subjunctive in Latin, without finding that he had to give a lesson in English grammar as well? In truth, the higher work of schools is perpetually hampered by the neglect of English in the lower classes. It is often said, and is sometimes true, that, sooner or later, pupils learn English grammar through Latin, but many of them learn neither, and the process is in any case unreasonable.

Download or read book English Practice for Secondary Schools Classic Reprint written by Norman McLeod and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Practice for Secondary Schools Speaking generally, the mastery of English, oral and written, comes through imitation and practice, rather than through the application of rules of grammar. Accordingly, models by standard authors and by pupils of grades nine and ten are included for detailed study and for mimic writing. Nevertheless, an irreducible minimum of pure gram mar, chiefly concerned with the function of words and the structure of the sentence, must be taught. This book seeks to combine, in a series of daily exercises, practices in speaking and writing, and the grammar necessary to those skills, without undue stress upon formal definitions or much abstract teaching. On the whole, the arrangement of the material is topical, but to a very considerable extent it is also sequential since new skills are introduced into each unit and those same skills are drilled upon and further developed in succeeding units. It is hoped that in the first portion of the course teachers and pupils will concentrate upon the sentence, aiming to achieve facility in oral and written expression. In the remainder of the course the combination of good sentences into well constructed paragraphs provides the material for intensive work in composition. In all the units, wherever possible, an effort has been made to base the work upon activities and experiences of growing boys and girls.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of School and College English The papers in this pamphlet are republished as a contribution to the discussion provoked by the reports which were presented in 1892 and 1895 to the Board of Overseers of Harvard College by the Committee on Composition and Rhetoric. Each paper was written independently; the author of each was, at 'the time of writing, charged with the duty of reading the examination books in English produced by candidates for admission to Harvard College. The first paper, Oopies of which were sent by the College authorities to the masters of over two hundred and twenty schools, was published only five years after an examination in English composition was for the first time prescribed for admission the last, after examinations in that subject had been going on for nearly twenty years. Taken together, the five papers show a remarkable agreement both in facts and in inferences and both facts and inferences tend to sustain the general conclusion reached on independent grounds by the Committee of the Board of Overseers - the conclusion that the Secondary Schools need to pay more attention to English.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions to Teachers of English in the Secondary Schools Attention has been directed of late to the lamentable condition of English instruction in the secondary schools. It is discovered not only that English has been neglected for other subjects, but that English is, itself, especially difficult to teach. That English has been neglected is the fault of parents and the general public more than of teachers. In the majority of American homes little or no reading of the English classics obtains; and insistance upon the use of pure English in speaking and writing is left generally to the schools. That English is difficult to teach follows from the ease with which both teacher and pupil may shirk the English lesson. The instructor has a smattering of the subject; the pupil thinks that he knows all about it. Each is prone to contemn what appears to be easy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English for Immediate Use Most pupils have not the faintest wish to cultivate literary style, or to become writers of books. The great majority of pupils in secondary schools will not even enter college: they will go out at once into the work of the world. Most pupils say frankly that they do not intend to give their days and nights to the study of Addison, and that they would not write like Addison, if they could. They do wish earnestly to make themselves understood, and they would like to talk and to write in a way that commands attention. They have no desire to master periodic structure; they care nothing for balance and antithesis as methods of expression. All that they wish is to make instant appeal to their fellows. It is to aid them in fulfilling the ordinary daily needs and desires that this book has been written. For all pupils in American schools English is the principal medium of self-expression. Through that medium, every day, they reveal their needs, their desires, their emotions, and all of their numerous reactions in life. They live in the days when they speak and write: they are not waiting to live in some far-off future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of High School English The teacher of English in the high schools of to-day has varied and manifold duties. To the lessons in literature and written composition, which were the staple diet a decade ago, there must now be added persistent instruction in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and oral composition, all duly planned and graded for the secondary school. Furthermore, every well-ordered course in English must include some provision for dramatic effort in the classroom if the work in oral expression is to be given its full value. The present volume contains material for study and practice in all these divisions of the subject, arranged with a view to affording the pupil as much growth-giving exercise as possible, and to economizing the time and energy of the teacher. The subject matter for composition, both oral and written, has been carefully chosen with the design of securing interest, for much experience has convinced the writer that the value of such work is in exact proportion to the zest with which it is carried on.
