Polyglot Reader, and Guide for Translation (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating text on language study by the author posits that language instruction should emphasize the practical rather than the theoretical. The author argues that language, like any other art, is best learned through immersion, with advanced theoretical study complementing the development of fluency later on. By prioritizing speaking, reading, listening, and writing in that sequential order, the author argues that students can glean grammar rules inductively rather than studying them abstractly, accelerating their progress significantly. The author contends that textbooks and classes focus too much on memorization instead of practical application, while failing to place enough importance on the benefits of imitating native speakers and immersing students in the language and the culture it carries. Though the text is not a guide to learning languages, it provides valuable insights into the process of teaching and learning them. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in second language acquisition, from instructors to students. 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 # 9781333009526_0
