How the French Boy, Learns to Write: A Study in the Teaching, of the Mother Tongue (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from How the French Boy, Learns to Write: A Study in the Teaching, of the Mother Tongue
Soon after I began teaching English nine years ago, my acquaintance with several French textbooks on composition led me to believe that it might be profitable to study the manner in which the French deal with the entire problem of learning to write. In 1910 Wabash College granted me a year's leave of absence for the prosecution of such a study; and in 1912 I found it possible to carry out my original plans. Accordingly I went to France and devoted the academic year, to visiting classrooms in both the primary and secondary school systems, to holding conferences with teachers and other persons interested in education, and to such complementary investigation as seemed important. My observations were made in schools for boys.
