Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Foreign Languages: Principles and Methods The main object of this work is to supply a clear statement, illustrated by examples from experience, of the principles that underlie the teaching of a living foreign language, for they alone can supply the necessary standards by which to measure the relative value of the various methods it is possible to adopt. It is hoped that the book may also prove useful to the student of methods by giving him starting points for further research. To this end several of the problems that need investigation have been indicated. Among the most pressing may here be mentioned: (1) the best method of teaching foreign literature, (2) and composition; (3) the teaching of pronunciation in detail; (4) the application of the oral method to the teaching of grammar and vocabulary. Each of these subjects supplies in itself matter for an important monograph. An account of a tentative beginning in the experimental method applied to the teaching of foreign languages has been given in the form of an Addendum.

Download or read book The Teaching of Modern Foreign Languages written by Henry Gibson Atkins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Modern Foreign Languages: In School and University The Modern Educator's Library has been designed to give considered expositions of the best theory and practice in English education of to-day. It is planned to cover the principal problems of educational theory in general, of curriculum and organisation, of some unexhausted aspects of the history of education, and of special branches of applied education. The Editor and his colleagues have had in view the needs of young teachers and of those training to be teachers, but since the school and the schoolmaster are not the sole factors in the educative process, it is hoped that educators in general (and which of us is not in some sense or other an educator?) as well as the professional schoolmaster may find in the series some help in understanding precept and practice in education of to-day and to-morrow. For we have borne in mind not only what is but what ought to be. To exhibit the educator's work as a vocation requiring the best possible preparation is the spirit in which these volumes have been written. No artificial uniformity has been sought or imposed, and while the Editor is responsible for the series in general, the responsibility for the opinions expressed in each volume rests solely with its author.

Download or read book How to Teach a Foreign Language written by Otto Jespersen and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the famous Danish linguist Otto Jespersen, this work has proved to be a valuable contribution to the English language and Linguistics. He presented theoretical considerations of language teaching in this book. As a professor of English at Copenhagen, he led a campaign for basing foreign-language teaching on the use of conversational speech rather than on the textbook study of grammar and vocabulary. He wrote several textbooks used in Denmark and other countries for English teaching. The modern techniques suggested by Jespersen make this work on didactics and pedagogy relevant even today for English teaching.

Download or read book The Loom of Language written by Frederick Bodmer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1985 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an informative introduction to language: its origins in the past, its growth through history, and its present use for communication between peoples. It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages -- Teutonic, Romance, Greek -- helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a language as it is actually used in everyday life.
Download or read book How to Learn a Foreign Language written by Paul Pimsleur and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this entertaining and groundbreaking book, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, creator of the renowned Pimsleur Method, the world leader in audio-based language learning, shows how anyone can learn to speak a foreign language. If learning a language in high school left you bruised, with a sense that there was no way you can learn another language, How to Learn a Foreign Language will restore your sense of hope. In simple, straightforward terms, Dr. Pimsleur will help you learn grammar (seamlessly), vocabulary, and how to practice pronunciation (and come out sounding like a native). The key is the simplicity and directness of Pimsleur’s approach to a daunting subject, breaking it down piece by piece, demystifying the process along the way. Dr. Pimsleur draws on his own language learning trials and tribulations offering practical advice for overcoming the obstacles so many of us face. Originally published in 1980, How to Learn a Foreign Language is now available on the 50th anniversary of Dr. Pimsleur’s publication of the first of his first audio courses that embodied the concepts and methods found here. It's a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the mind of this amazing pioneer of language learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Modern Languages The question of methods has doubtless occupied the attention of teachers as long as language teaching has existed. There was a time, however, when there was no dispute regarding those questions which are to-day most generally discussed; when each language teacher, apart from the slight peculiarities of his own individuality, pursued the same course. In this place we are interested merely in foreign-language teaching; and in our discussion we must begin at a point before civilized people, in the accepted meaning of the word, inhabited North America. There was at that time in the Old World but one foreign language in the schools: Latin. It was not until later that Greek was added; it was not until after the destruction of Constantinople by the Turks (1453) that highly educated Greeks fled toward the West, taking with them their language and the remains of their art. Latin became thereafter the common language of the educated, of the learned. Whoever would rise to higher refinement, whoever would enjoy the beauties of the classics, was obliged to learn the ancient languages, - there was no other possibility. And the purpose of such study indicated at once and in a perfectly natural manner the way to be followed - and the means of making the start in this way. Students wished to understand the classics. Without further ado they took up the various authors and began to decipher them, gradually becoming at home in the language. In the Latin schools Cicero was put into the hands of the beginners.

Download or read book The Art of Teaching and Studying Languages Classic Reprint written by Francois Gouin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Teaching and Studying Languages Mankind has long passed from the stage in which speech is used for the mere expression of physical facts and desires, to that in which language is employed as the highest tool within the grasp to paint the pictures of poetic imagination, and sway a world-wide audience to noble thoughts and deeds. Not only to satisfy the necessities of travellers in far countries has the study of language been ever desirable, but to penetrate the spirit and genius of Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Goethe, Hugo, Dante, it has become, to the cultured of every country, a necessity for the full gift of a liberal education. Since language became literature, the necessity for the mastery over other tongues than his own has forced the attention of student and of professor to the problem of the study of languages; and the great intellectual value of a complete and logical system for the mastery of tongues, if such could be found, is so apparent, that the greatest honour has always been awarded to discoverers in this region, which is still felt, however, to be to a large extent unexplored, or at least unconquered. The world has this year seen a magnificent celebration of the grand services to the cause of education rendered by Comenius. In spite of this we are still far from having definitely adopted in our school and college practice the now acknowledged principles perceived by Comenius - that education must be organic and not mechanical, that language teaching, modern and classic, should proceed by dealing with things and not with words and grammatical abstractions, and that before all else education should have direct bearing upon actual life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Learn a Foreign Language: A Review of the Best Methods, Including the Latest Up to Date These examples could be multiplied in comparing any language with another. The soul of man is, as it were, pent up within him by the language which he speaks; give him the power to use another language and it is like giving him fresh outlets for the expression of his soul. His soul becomes bigger and bigger with every language acquired, and is not this adding charm upon charm to one's existence? This sense of soul growth, and the belief that the soul never dies, but goes on growing and growing into all eternity, is the chief charm and support of existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture on the Best Methods of Teaching the Living Languages: Delivered Before the American Institute, August 24, 1832 Mr President and Gentlemen: The most important characteristic of a living language, - the attribute in which resides its essential power and value, - is, that it is a spoken one; that it serves for that constant and principal bond of union between the different individuals of a whole nation, without which, they could not, for a moment, be kept together as a community. This great and prevalent characteristic is, therefore, everywhere visible in its structure, arrangements and expression; hardly less so in books, than in conversation. The main object, indeed, to which every other is sacrificed, in the formation of a language is, to facilitate personal intercourse; to enable one human being, in the easiest and most direct manner, to communicate to another his thoughts and his wants, his feelings and his passions; and to this great object every living language is essentially, and, it may almost be said, is exclusively adapted in its vocabulary, its forms, its inflexions, idioms and pronunciation. The easiest and best method, therefore, for persons of all ages and all classes to learn a living language is undoubtedly to learn it as a spoken one; since this is not only its paramount characteristic, but is the only foundation on which the written language has been built or can rest. Persons, then, who have the opportunity, should learn the living language they wish to possess, as it is learnt by those to whom it is native. They should reside where it is constantly spoken, and use it, as it is used around them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
