Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keller's New German Method, or a New System of Teaching the Modern Languages IN bringing this work before the public, I wish it to be understood from the outset, that it is not intended to form a complete course of the German language in itself, but only one part of it; and in my humble Opinion, the most impor tant s the practical, or as I would call it, the conversational part. Various circumstances hastened the publication of this work, which I intended to have delayed till the whole was completed. Among these I may mention: the nuques tionable success, based upon undeniable facts, obtained by this system; as well as the flattering approbation of the distinguished gentlemen of the Washington University, who were present at an examination, for the especial purpose of testing the system.

This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of German in Secondary Schools Some definite work has already been done in the United States towards putting modern language instruction upon a better basis as regards aim and method; for example, Reform the report1 presented by the Committee of Movement Twelve, at the session of the Modern Lan 1 U' s. A' guage Association held in Charlottesville, Va., in 1898. It is an attempt, by way of recommendation, to bring about some degree Of harmony in the rather chaotic conditions that naturally exist in a nation so educationally decentralized as our own. Though brief, the report is com prehensive and practical, and deserves the careful study of every modern language teacher. After dealing with the aim and value Of modern languages as a culture study, there follows a brief sketch and critique of some of the well-known systems or methods. The report then seeks to build up, from this preliminary discussion, a course more or less eclectic in method, to suit our conditions. Very valuable are the suggestions given to teachers, and everywhere the report is characterized by a wise conservatism, so desirable in the present status of modern language work in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Language: Outlines of Its Development Language teachers recognize the injustice and prejudice in such condemnation. At the same time, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that more and more the study Of foreign languages is pursued not for its own inherent value, but for ulterior purposes, however legitimate they may be. I have long had the conviction that for the loss of pres tige suffered by language study during the last twenty years, the profession is not altogether without blame. In trying to meet the popular clamor for practical results, Often enough coming from sources whence it should be least expected, we have allowed our work to grow more or less superficial, giving more attention to a favorable appearance, to entertainment of the learner than to serious study with its sure and lasting reward. The best, if not the only way in which we may rehabilitate ourselves in the esteem of seriously minded students, is by laying surer and deeper foundations for our work. In this book I meant to put my efforts in this direction at the service Of all teachers and students who are interested in gaining an intelligent understanding of linguistic processes as they manifest themselves in the German language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of the German Language: Systematically Arranged on a New Plan, Brief, Comprehensive and Practical Every free country, trusting to correct and general intelligence for the permanency of its institutions, will liberally patronize, not only science and native litera ture, but also the study of foreign languages, with a view of deriving aid from the intellectual labours and improvements of other nations. Among those languages which are attracting the attention of the scholar, the philologist and the statesman, none pos sesses more charms, excites more interest, or Opens more sources of information and Speculation, than the German. Formerly, it was rarely ever found included in a course of collegiate or general study. But as the beauties' and wealth of German literature have be come known and appreciated, its study has become more general. Now it finds able advocates in nearly all the respectable literary institutions of the land. New England, the Greece of the new world, where the rays of light are concentrated from every dirce tion, and again reflected abroad, has the honour of being the first in this country to encours and culti vate the study of the langua e in which ghiller and Gothe, Wieland and Burger, arner and Voss, Klopp stock, Herder and Schlegel have rendered themselves immortal.

To learn in this manner is no longer a study, it is an amuse ment. Supposing the pupil to have learned his own language by principles, I thought it proper to add a few rules, which will serve to shorten the course and render the progress more secure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Studies, Vol. 1: A Complete Course of Instruction in the German Language It has almost become a custom, that the Author of a book, and particularly 'of a new School-book, begins his Pre face with a sort of apology for having dared to increase the great number of similar works. I will not do any such thing. In my Opinion, every work that is presented to the Public, must justify its own appearance, if this is not the case, all excuses and apologies in the Preface are super uous and generally ridiculous. The number of German Grammars is indeed very great, but I also know that a great many of them are of such a kind, that they must soon fall into oblivion. It is, however, not my task to show the merits and defects of other works; my endeavour shall simply be to state the Principles on which this work is composed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the German Language The question: What is the proper method of studying a foreign language? Is one that has occupied the attention of some of the deepest thinkers. Of all who have ever written on this subject, M. Marcel, in his work, The Study of Languages, has most nearly approached the solution of the problem; and we would advise both teach ers and scholars, before commencing the study of a foreign language, carefully to peruse the book referred to, which having been written in a tongue foreign to the author, is in itself the very best proof of the correctness of the views developed on its pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Method of Learning the German Language: Embracing Both the Analytic and Synthetic Modes of Instruction; Being a Plain and Practical Way of Acquiring the Art of Reading, Speaking, and Composing German But the motives to the study of this language reach far he yond the circles of literary life. Celerity and cheapness of travel, growing out of recent improvements in navigation, h united 111 producing an easy intercourse between Germany and America. Besides, we have already in our midst an immense and daily augmenting German population. The language of this people is Spoken extensively among us, and has hence come to have a high practical value. It is often set down an indispensable 'qualification even for a common clerkship. Such being the character and importance of the German lan guage, various attempts have been made, as was natural, to give greater facility in learning it. Some of these are nu questionably excellent works; executed, according to the plan which they have adopted, in a manner skilful and judicious. But just here, in plan, as it seems to the present writer, all of them are more or less lacking; and out of this conviction has arisen the present volume.

Download or read book A New Elementary Course in the German Language written by Gabriel Campbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Elementary Course in the German Language: For the Use of Schools One language contains all the general principles of every other. Comparative philology - a new science - is entirely changing the mode of teaching languages. It shows that the true method of acquiring a foreign tongue is by compar ing it with the one already known. The aim of this work is to make a practical application of the recent improvements in this direction. The pupil is supposed to be familiar with the English language. Its grammar being Teutonic or German, no at tempt is made to teach what should properly be studied in the native tongue. The German and English are brought side by side, their differences and affinities compared, and that point taught first which will open to the learner the broadest field. A large majority of the German words may be formed from the English by a regular system of consonant changes. For this reason, the chief study will be the forms of words. The same principle is followed in developing the endings which characterize these words in their relations to each other. The pupil is encumbered as little as possible with minor details and exceptional cases. The illustrations though drawn from the language of real life, are free from colloquial, proverbial or poetical idioms.

Download or read book Foundations of German Classic Reprint written by Carl Friedrich Kayser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of German The choice of a beginners' book for the study of a modern foreign language must depend upon a number of considerations, such as the age and previous training of the pupils, the method to be pursued, and the immediate object to be attained. With the conditions under which the study of German is pursued in most schools of this country, there seems to be little doubt that, instead of a systematic grammar, a rather comprehensive lesson book, arranged in a pedagogical manner, and furnished with plenty of interesting material for reading, translation, and con versation furnishes the best preparation for the further study of the language. Acting on this conviction, the authors of the present volume have endeavored to meet this demand by publish ing their Brief German C ourse, and, judging from the favorable reception which the book has met in various sections of the country, the authors feel that their views laid down in that book have been fully indorsed.
