Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 3 I feel a kind of doubt as to whether, in welcoming you to hold your conference in this modern University, I should use as my vehicle of speech the ancient tongue of Englishmen, or should address you in that new-fashioned language of Dr. Zamenhof, the general tongue of Esperanto. Yet for you, ladies and gentlemen, there will be no such doubt; for it is clear that if Esperanto wins general use - and from the rapid growth of it, and from the sanity of the reformed grammar it introduces, one could easily believe that it might - we should then have no use for any such gathering as this; for the common coin of daily and unromantic communication would then have superseded all our endeavours to teach the several local languages of the European world. I do not know how it looks to others; to me it seems that Esperanto in vocabulary and grammar is a miracle of simplicity, especially when one brings to the study of it a knowledge of the chief European tongues. Enthusiasts for it proclaim that it will be the bond of union between all lands; will break down many subtle barriers; will advance among nations the Christians message of peace and goodwill. These things may be but passing dreams; we are clearly not met to study the chances of our own demise through the triumph of a system of language which claims to make all education in existing languages comparatively unimportant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 4 Looking back on a good many Annual Meetings of the Modern Language Association, we can recall none that gave us more satisfaction than the last - on January 7 and 8. The attendance might have been better, it is true; but the abominable weather was largely responsible for that. The general level of the speeches was high, and everything went smoothly and in a business-like way. Much of the credit naturally belongs to Mr. Bridge, our unwearying Secretary. The meeting really began on the Monday, for there was a very pleasant little function on the evening of that day. Members and their friends assembled in the hall of Queen's College for a friendly chat, diversified by some excellent music and recitations. It was with pleasure that we noticed the presence of M. Camerlynck and of Herr Kasten, representing the French and the German sister associations. On Tuesday the proceedings began with reports on the progress of the Association. These were generally of a satisfactory character. The number of members (679) constitutes a record, and represents an increase of forty-eight during the year; 60 has been invested in Consols and there is a balance to the good of 25; various committees have been and are doing valuable work; the travelling exhibition has been formed, and has started on its travels; and generally there has been keen activity. Let us hope that the present year will be as satisfactory as the last, so that we may have an equally good report next January at Oxford. At noon our President, Mr. Storr, rose to read his address, and was greeted with well-deserved cheers; for it would be hard to exhaust the list of benefits he has conferred upon the Association. May we long be able to profit by his help and friendly interest. His admirable paper on The Art of Translation is given on another page; it was universally praised for its critical force and fine scholarship. Mr. Storr's own masterly renderings are familiar to many, and the knowledge that he was something more than a critic gave additional weight to his words. At half-past two Mr. Milner-Barry opened a discussion on The Position of German in English Schools with a very able speech, delivered in his impressive and deliberate manner, so well adapted to driving home a truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 12 This subject requires careful handling in any book professing to teach Russian, and must be copiously furnished with well-selected examples. In studying and discussing this matter, there is brought home to us one great benefit derived from an intelligent study of language. If we are not merely 'parrot linguists, we cannot help real izing that each separate language known to man represents a definite, distinct, and peculiar attitude to the external and internal worlds, or, rather, a collection of ideas, wishes, and emotions called forth or set up by these worlds, and embodies for this purpose the social and individual consciousness of a distinct community. Every language, therefore, expresses in its own way the 'nationalism' of its present Speakers, as well as the surviving experiences of the past generations. Who, then, remembering this, will not treat all languages with additional respect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 1: The Official Organ of the Modern Language Association The Annual General Meeting of the Modem Language Association was held at University College, Manchester, on January 12 and 13, 1905. On Thursday, January 12, the chair was taken by the President (Professor M. E. Sadler, M.A., Victoria University of Manchester). The Vice-Chancellor of Victoria University, Dr. Hopkinson, attended at the commencement of the proceedings to welcome the Society. He said that it was with very great pleasure that he heart! that the Society intended to meet in Manchester this year, and that it would be agreeable to them to meet within the walls of the Victoria University. The meeting at Manchester was especially pleasant to him owing to the fact that it was to be held under the presidency of one of the Professors of the University whoso presence there was ever welcome. He would like to offer, on behalf of the University, a most hearty welcome to the Society, both to Manchester and to tho University. The work of the Modem Language Association was a necessary one, although older and younger Universities alike were recognising more and more the important place which modern languages and the teaching of them would occupy in equipping students for their afterlife. The subject hail to be looked at from that point of view by those persons who had the working of educational institutions, and were brought into contact with parents, and were acquainted with their aspirations, their means, and the hopes which they entertained for the future of their children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 3 W'hen he 'comes to enumerate the elements ofthe utility which he claims for the modern lau guages, it is interesting to see that the lecturer places first the fact (p.5) that a knowledge of French and German doubles and trebles the library whence knowledge may be drawn; and in his analysis of method t/ze teaching of reading, he says, I put that clearly first. He says (p.26) I would always begin with a book and claims (p. 13)that for all, young or old, the eye is incomparably the swifter gate to knowledge, and it is the only means of rapidly acquiring accuracy. He insists that elementary (oral) work on lan guage should be confined to the mother tongue; and adds the important conclusion that the power of conversing in a foreign lan guage can be acquired at least as easily late as early that it is much less important than trans lation, much less important than composition, and that in learning it, at whatever age, we waste power if we proceed by ear only. Yet he does not undervalue the oflice of the ear, and adds an interesting paragraph on Dictation and Audition - that is, writing and listening from oral repetition;-but all these he holds to be subordinate to the main purpose of reading, and to the linguistic training and literary cul ture to be derived from the study of modern languages. Surely it is gratifying to see how closely the views which Mr. Colbeck repre sents are in accord with those formally enun ciated by the, Modern Language Association of America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Is Modern Language Teaching a Failure?, Vol. 8 True it undoubtedly is that our boys and girls are, on the average, some two years behind those of France and Germany in common book-learning. We shall perhaps be able to pursue our subject with a clearer understanding if we turn aside for a moment to consider the origin of this backwardness. The blame has sometimes been put, and with some justice, upon our migratory habits and upon the heterogeneous character of our population.

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.
