Excerpt from At West Point: A Practical Course In Speaking, And Writing French
In writing this book the authors have departed wide from what seems to be a well established custom, that of basing French texts for American or English students on French novels, plays, or short stories, with the underlying idea that an interest in French customs, manner of living, etc., should be inculcated in the student while teaching him the language.
Interest on the part of the student is recognized as essential to satisfactory progress to create it is the problem of every teacher who understands the psychology of his pupils. It is the idea of the authors of this work that the pupil of high - school age is still most interested in the things most closely associated with his own life.
They believe that if the student can first be interested to the point of learning the French language, so as to be able to use it and derive pleasure from so doing, his interest in French life and_ French literature will follow inevitably.
