Synopsis
Excerpt from French Intonation Exercises
The idea of adapting the "Französische Intonationsübungen" of H. Klinghardt and M. de Fourmestraux for English-speaking teachers and students first occurred to me when I was demonstrating Professor Klinghardt's method at the Summer Vacation Courses for teachers of French, held at Durham in 1918 and 1920, under the auspices of the Board of Education.
The teaching of intonation seemed to be a new problem for most of the teachers, but the simplicity and practicability of Professor Klinghardt's method kindled their enthusiasm, and many urgent enquiries were made as to how and where his book could be obtained. Great disappointment was expressed when it was learned that the book was published in Germany, and that the Introduction and Notes were written in German for German teachers of French. Repeated requests for an English edition for English teachers followed, and this book is the outcome of those requests. It is hoped that it will supply a want, and that it will meet the needs of teachers for purposes of private study and also for use as a class-book.
Experience has shown that where pupils have been taught French intonation systematically, there has been a marked increase in the efficiency of the oral work, and several of H.M. Inspectors have paid tribute to the often surprisingly good results thus obtained.
Efficient oral work implies the teaching of two things-the correct sounds and tones. As Mr. Harold Palmer says in his excellent book on English Intonation} "the two things, pronunciation and intonation, are so bound up with each other that it is futile to teach or to learn one without the other."

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a systematic teaching method for French intonation, a nuanced aspect of the language that is often neglected in classroom instruction. The author maintains that to authentically speak French, it is vital to master not only the correct sounds but also the characteristic melodies of the language. The book remedies this educational oversight by employing a collection of exercises designed to enhance students' understanding and use of French intonation. These exercises record how typical French speakers intone, and the book also includes an analysis of the fundamental principles of French intonation. The author compares French and English intonation, demonstrating the key differences between the two languages and arguing for the importance of learning a typical French melody. The book's insights are significant because they empower students to achieve authentic pronunciation and expression in their French communication. 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 # 9781331897989_0
