Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English in the Preparatory Schools The changes that have taken place in recent years in the methods of language study have done much to advance the cause of good learning. Every teacher owes a lasting debt to those who have wrought out, and to some extent perfected, these new and practical methods. The debt of the teacher is, however, but a tithe of that due from those who have thus been spared laborious and well-nigh fruitless gropings through the labyrinths of a complex grammar and the blind by-paths of inexplicable idioms. Where the new methods have been wisely held in check by a recognition of the legitimate functions of grammatical study, the results have been in the main entirely satisfactory. Languages are now learned much more rapidly and easily than was the case a few years ago, and are thus the earlier brought into requisition as the means to some other and better end. Parrot-like knowledge of inflections and rules has ceased to be the goal of linguistic scholarship: the ability to use a language as a medium between the possessor and something to be sought in literature or life, is now more generally recognized as the purpose of such studies and the main reason for them. It is somewhat astonishing that, in view of all this, some more practical and rational method has not been adopted in the study of our own language as a vehicle of thought.
