Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1887, examines the teaching of Modern Languages (French and German) in the British context. The author, a schoolmaster, advocates for practical, humanist, and progressive language teaching, not solely focused on examinations. The book proposes the use of modern teaching methods, such as a focus on reading over grammar study, and emphasising the importance of conversation in language learning. The author also discusses the role of foreign language study in a liberal education, highlighting its usefulness, ease of learning, and cultural value.
