Book The Training of Teachers of the Modern Foreign Languages

Download or read book The Training of Teachers of the Modern Foreign Languages written by Charles Maltador Purin and published by New York : The Macmillan Company. This book was released on 1929 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work is a part of an investigation into the teaching of the modern foreign languages which was begun in 1924 by a Committee organized under the sponsorship of the American Council on Education and working with funds supplied by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. From the first the Committee on Investigation recognized the fundamental importance which the training of secondary school teachers has for the present and future position of modern language studies in this country and took steps to sound out the situation as thoroughly as possible. The following pages contain the results of this inquiry. Even a hasty examination of Professor Purin's report will show that the foreign language teachers in this country, as a class, are poorly equipped both in the fundamentals of their subject and in the theory of teaching and the technique provided by practice under supervision. AU of these defects, as well as a lack of professional feeling, . teachers of the modern languages share with colleagues in other curriculum subjects, and all are to be explained in great measure by the recent history of our secondary school system. The deficiencies in the training of modern language teachers, resulting in a lack of fundamental skills and capacities, appear in glaring relief to every classroom visitor and are written plainly in the statistics contained in this report. Less than twenty-five per cent of the modern language teachers in the public secondary schools of the country have enjoyed opportunities beyond the college years, except such as were furnished by summer sessions. Only a little over thirty per cent of these teachers have ever visited a country where the language which they teach is spoken. Equally significant is the fact that one-third of them have not yet had three years of teaching experience and that thirty-six states in the Union still issue "blanket" certificates authorizing the holders to give instruction in any subject on the secondary school curriculum.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... THE TEACHING OF MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS. The subject which I propose to discuss in these lectures can certainly not be likened to a smooth and flower-strewn path. If it is not exactly beset with thorns, it may yet appear to outsiders to be stony, dull, and probably devoid of those beautiful vistas which those who unweariedly climb the upward path have a reasonable hope of beholding in the end. Moreover my lectures must of necessity be somewhat technical, and the limited time at my disposal strictly forbids me to enter some of the by-paths from the main road which often afford no small amount of amusement beside material for very serious reflection. One of these digressions would be a short sketch of the early days of modern language teaching, a discussion of the old quaint 'babees bookes' or 'bookes of Curtesy' which sometimes combined teaching of modern languages with teaching of good manners1. Another digression would be a discussion of the results frequently obtained by the present system of modern language teaching in some of our Secondary Schools. It has been my lot for many years to 1 See my edition of the fifteenth century poem 'The Boke of Curtesy' in Englische Studien, IX. (1885), pages 51 and foil. Cp. also W. Vietor 'Die Methodik des Neusprachlichen Unterrichts, ' Leipzig, 1902, pp. 4ff. (Vom Mittelalter zur Neuzeit). make from time to time a careful study of that very remarkable and ever increasing part of educational literature which is known to the scholastic world by the high-sounding name of 'examination papers.' From the questions asked in these papers and the answers to them one may gather some ideas as to the aims and results of modern language teaching--here I refer especially to the teaching..
