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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Languages in Education At the meeting of the American Philological Association, which was held in New Haven, in July, 1872, a paper was read by Prof. G. F. Comfort, the Secretary and the chief founder of that society, upon the subject, "Should the Study of the Modern precede that of the Ancient Languages?" taking the affirmative of this question. This paper was published in the August number of Scribner's Monthly Magazine of that year. It covered nearly all the points that are involved in the discussion of the relative merits and claims of the ancient and the modern languages in a general system of education. This subject has recently been brought with great prominence to the attention of the American public, chiefly through the work of the Modern Language Association, and through the action of Harvard University in eliminating Greek from the required studies in the college curriculum. Many calls have been made by teachers and others for the article by Prof. Comfort alluded to above. As the plates for the series of the magazine in which it originally appeared have been destroyed, the undersigned takes pleasure in presenting it to the public in this separate and permanent form, with the title changed to "Modern Languages in Education."

As delivered it consisted largely of oral illustrations and comments, only a portion of which is now printed, while some parts have been expanded. There seems to be at last a disposition to regard seriously the pretensions of Modern Languages to a larger. Place in Education, and I am not therefore without hope that the First Lecture, if only by the criticism which it evokes, may in some way serve to promote their claim, and especially their claim as Literature, to a fair hearing. Teachers generally find details concerning the practice of other teachers interesting, but I can not flatter myself that any one else will read the Second Lecture to the end.

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 today. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense in Teaching Modern Languages: An Address Read Before the Schoolmasters' Association of New York and Vicinity, Dec. 13, 1894 F I were to follow the plan Of the Old-time sermon-makers, I should naturally' speak on this subject under three heads 1) Common Sense, (2) Teaching, and (3) Modern Languages. Under the first head, however, nobody can tell another person anything, and under the second it is not likely that I can tell you a great deal. Still, before I begin to talk On the subject about which I hope I can tell you something, I wish to touch upon the other two, in order to make clear my starting point. A few years ago I got from a man who seems to have been more popular then than now, a sort Of formula which has been a very useful part Of my mental furniture ever since, and expresses as well as anything my conception of what common sense means. I refer to the famous sentence, It is a condition and not a theory which confronts us. In ninety-nine out Of a hundred of the problems Of actual life, it is a condition and not a theory which Confronts us. And the man who has common sense is the man who is very sparing Of theories till he is sure Of all the conditions, and then applies to the conditions, from all the theories he has on the subject, those which rest on the most general and most nearly axiomatic principles. Every act Of human effort has for its Object the accomplish ment of some result by the application Of certain means under certain conditions. A state of things as it exists before the act is to be changed into one more desirable. He is most successful who has the clearest understanding of what the existing state of things is, and Of the state Of things to be. Produced by the change, and who has at his command all the means which could be used to produce the desired result, and understands their rela tions, and has common sense to apply them in the right way and at the right time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Language Teaching, Vol. 12 You have paid me a signal compliment in electing me to be the President of this flourishing arid important Association, a body which has done so much to advance the study of modern languages in our midst. Your civility to me in this matter is the more marked, because I have never had the privilege of being associated with you in any of your admirable work. I was busy in another field, and your courtesy, therefore, in coming to me there, and transferring me to the sphere of your own activity, is all the more emphatic. I believe I do not exceed probability when I venture to attribute it to your approval of the warm and constant attention which I have paid for many years past to the literatures of those languages which you cultivate professionally. It is true that, for half a century, a great portion of my thoughts has been occupied with the speech of several of the nations whose action lies outside the borders of the British Empire. I always felt a strong attraction in exotic thought; and when I speak of half a century I am not using the language of loose exaggeration, for it was in the winter of 1865, when I was a schoolboy at home for the Christmas holidays, that I told my father that I wished to teach myself Danish and Swedish. He was very much surprised at this design, with which I do not think he had any sympathy, but he set about trying to meet my views. But you, who enjoy so many advantages, and have libraries of educational works at your finger-ends will hardly realize what the difficulties of study were fifty years ago. All we could obtain, after much inquiry, were two bound pamphlets, written in questionable English and badly printed in Germany, belonging to the well-known series issued by a certain Herr Ahn. That was all that British booksellers could at that date supply, and it was in those grotesque treatises that I painfully taught myself the rudiments of Swedish and Danish. The Swedish, I remember, was printed in the old letter of a hundred years ago, and I came at a later date to discover that the familiar phrases which the reader was invited to repeat in the streets of Stockholm belonged to the period of lace-ruffles and sedan chairs. I have told you that my father sympathized but little with my desire to become familiar with foreign ideas. This was, I am persuaded, characteristic of the attitude of cultivated people at that time. We had abundance of books in our house, but I think I am accurate in saying that there were not any, except directly scientific treatises, which were not written in English.
