Has the War Proved That Our Methods of Teaching Modern Languages in the Colleges Are Wrong? (Classic Reprint): A Symposium: A Symposium (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is a collection of insights from prominent educators and linguists on the state of modern language teaching in the early 20th century. The author presents a series of essays that examine the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary methods, arguing for a more practical and immersive approach to language learning. The author contends that while traditional methods prioritize reading and translation, they fail to adequately prepare students for real-world language use, particularly in terms of speaking and listening comprehension. The essays explore various alternative approaches, such as the use of conversation-based classes, the division of students into ability groups, and the incorporation of extra-curricular opportunities for language practice. By drawing upon the experiences and perspectives of leading language educators, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving the effectiveness of modern language teaching.
