Rethink grammar teaching with a principle-driven approach that emphasizes understanding over memorized rules. This guide helps teachers and students build language skills from first principles.
This book argues that grammar should teach how language works, not just follow a pile of fixed formulas. It explains a method that starts with core ideas and shows how to apply them in real lessons, with plenty of practical examples. The aim is to make grammar meaningful for both teachers and the students they guide.

The following pages are quite unconventional and no doubt differ considerably from the accepted type of grammatical text book. They put forward, nevertheless, no new theory. They deal with a method rather than with a theory, and their aim is simple and definite to meet certain practical difficulties which exist in the teaching of language, more especially of Latin, in certain kinds of school. The present writer has been responsible for a school of moderate size for the last nine years. He has been subject during most of that time to the restrictions of theB oard of Education, and has had to deal with perhaps a larger proportion than usual of boys whose school life has been short nearer three years than four, and who began it without any previous preparation in any language but their own. He has no desire to dogmatise about other schools and about other peoples experience ;but, as far as his own goes, there is no question in his mind but that the problem of teaching Latin, and indeed language generally, in the modernS tate-controlled Secondary School is an utterly different one from what it was when time tables were roughly divided between Classics and Mathematics, and when school-life extended to seventeen or eighteen.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a novel and practical approach to language learning, specifically focusing on Latin, in a way that departs from the traditional grammar textbook. The author, a seasoned schoolmaster, grapples with the challenges of teaching Latin to students in a modern, time-constrained educational environment. The book's central argument is that traditional grammatical methods, relying on rote memorization and unintelligent rules, fail to ignite a genuine understanding of language. Drawing parallels with the logical reasoning inherent in mathematics, the author advocates for a method based on first principles. This means replacing formulaic rules with an exploration of the fundamental ideas behind language structure, enabling learners to grasp the meaning and purpose of grammatical elements rather than simply memorizing their usage. The author believes that this approach will not only enhance comprehension but also foster a deeper appreciation of Latin as a tool of education. By examining the equivalents of Latin grammatical concepts in English, the book helps learners to recognize the shared principles underlying diverse languages, fostering a deeper understanding of language as a whole. The author's insights on language teaching are a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the role of Latin in contemporary education.
