Excerpt from A Suggested Course of Study and Syllabus: For Non-English Speaking Adults
What subjects shall I teach? This question is asked by every teacher of English to foreigners. Teachers of the regular academic schools need not worry over this selection for the necessary information is contained in the courses of study for such schools. The impracticability of adhering to a fixed course of study for classes of adult foreigners is apparent for the following reasons:
1. Our students come to us with definite purposes, needs, and interests. These must be satisfied if we hope to keep them in our classes. No course of study can be prepared in advance to meet all conditions.
2. A number of our pupils, though ignorant of the English language, have had a very broad and extensive training in their own tongues. Teachers must constantly bear this in mind and not class all beginners as illiterate.
3. Attendance is wholly voluntary. Students will drop out if they do not get what they need and want.
Therefore, the conditions peculiar to a given locality or class should determine the course of study for that group. The material in the following few pages is submitted to teachers of English to foreigners in the state of Connecticut to enable them to plan their own courses of study. Rigid adherence to the plans offered is not desired nor recommended.
This pamphlet has been prepared as a result of innumerable requests from individuals for copies of mimeographed material furnished to the students who attended the evening school teachers' course at the 1918 summer session of the Danbury State Normal School, conducted by the author.
It is earnestly hoped that the suggestions and material herein contained will prove of assistance to those for whom they are intended. This is our first attempt in offering such a course of study and we therefore stand ready to receive suggestions for its early revision, if necessary. Your suggestions and criticisms will be greatly appreciated by the Evening School Division of the State Board of Education, Hartford, Connecticut.
