You ask me for the latest news concerning the work In which you were so interested. You ask whether I have succeeded in correlating the various aspects of the problem in one homogeneous system of linguistic pedagogy. My answer takes the form of the present book. I have been able to recon struct the body of it from memory, and to augment the original documents by a large quantity of new material, and have finally ventured to submit it as my contribution to the ditcrature of linguistic pedagogy.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Study of Languages: A Guide for Teachers and Learners My examples are taken from a variety of languages, partly to avoid one-sidedness of treatment, partly to interest as many different classes of readers as possible. In discussing methods, I have drawn my illustrations from those books which I know best. The time has not yet come for an historical survey and critical estimate of the vast and increasing literature of linguistic pedagogy, either of that portion of it which deals with generalities and criticisms of methods, or that still larger portion which carries out - or pro fesses to carry out - these general principles in practical text books - reading-books, grammars, text-editions, methods, ' etc. In giving warning examples of mistakes into which learners may fall, I have confined myself to those made by foreigners in speaking and writing English, for the simple reason that the mistakes made by English-speakers in the use of other languages, though in themselves equally instructive and amusing, would have no point for the majority of my readers.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Teaching of Modern Languages in Theory and Practice The Teachers' Training Syndicate. The second appears in a slightly altered form. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Living Languages Englishmen especially, are at this moment employed by thou sands, as Merchants, Missionaries, Magistrates, &c., in learning hundreds of different languages spoken by people 111 all stages of civilization, from the lowest state of society upwards, and m their speedy acquisition of a correct knowledge and free colloquial use of several tongues of those tribes, hundreds of millions of the human race are most deeply interested, as that upon which mainly de pends both their temporal and eternal interests. Yet I am not aware that there is in existence a single work in which this sub jcet is closely and systematically investigated. It must be ob served that the point before us is, what 15 the best mode of acquir ing a knowledge of the language of savage and semi-civilized na tions? And that this is in some important respects quite distinct from both the acquisition _of dead languages andi'also of the living languages of nations who have been fully civilized and, conse quently, have a complete system of literature, a great variety of books of instruction written by extensively informed Natives, and also thoroughly educated teachers. There are difficulties in learning the languages of semi-civiliz ed and barbarous people which (do not exist in the case of the languages of civilized nations, and with respect to, the dead lau guages the principal points to be attended to and the objects aimed at are so entirely different from those in living languages, that what is applicable to the one is almost entirely inapplicable to the other.
