This book presents an invigorating and thought-provoking look at modern language teaching method reform rooted in 19th and early 20th century movements and scholarship. The author analyzes how those ideas shifted, developed and were influenced by the educational and philosophical ideas of the time and remain relevant and applicable today. The author examines the work and writings of reformers like Vietor, Walter and Kiuhn, and discusses the ideas of phonetics, Gouin method, and realia and shows how these ideas shaped modern language teaching. Through specific examples from classrooms and reflections on examinations and syllabi, the author argues that reform-based approaches continue to be valuable and applicable, particularly when addressing oral proficiency and the ability to communicate. Ultimately, the book contends that improving teaching methods is not simply about technique or implementation of new ideas, but rather emphasizes the importance of understanding and continuing to study the history of language teaching, and using that knowledge to continually refine and reform approaches and methodologies.
