Synopsis
Excerpt from An Oral System Of Teaching Living Languages: Illustrated By A Practical Course Of Lessons, In The French, Through The Medium Of The English
Now if there were a process through which the acquisition of a foreign language can be rendered easy, safe, and certain, it must be the process which nature follows in teaching us our mother tongue; for it cannot be doubted that she adopts the best means to attain her ends. This is a truth which, I apprehend, will be con tested by few nay, it has been so universally admitted, that almost all teachers have professed to take nature for' their model.2 But how have they put their pro fessions into practice? This question I Will undertake to answer. I will presently show, in as detailed a manner as the limits of a prefatory address Will allow, that the divers systems, heretofore resorted to, are erroneous and totally at variance with the nature of the human intellect, with the constitution of human language, and with the respective relations which subsist between them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces an innovative language teaching methodology based on the author's extensive experience and study of human learning. The author challenges traditional grammar-based and phrase-based methods, arguing that they are unnatural and ineffective. Instead, his method mimics the natural language acquisition process, introducing elements of a language one at a time and gradually building upon them. This method emphasizes speaking and listening over reading and writing, and focuses on practical application rather than abstract rules. The author provides a detailed description of his method, including instructions for teachers and exercises for students, and discusses the broader implications of his approach for language teaching. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of language learning and teaching, and provides a valuable resource for educators and language learners alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780365826132_0
