Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Teaching of English: A New Approach ´Will he have right opinion from being compelled to associate with another who knows and gives him instructions about what he should do?´ - Rep. x. 602. Mr. Tomkinson, I am sure, would answer with Plato in the negative. For as self-government is better than good government, so, in education, discovery is better than direction. The teacher, like the lover, must ´find out his way´; and Mr. Tomkinson´s book is mainly the record of the way he has found for himself in the teaching of English. It was not spun in the study out of fine theories, but was built up in the school out of materials furnished almost as much by the pupils as by their teacher. But, though it is the record of actual practice, that practice is not mere empiricism, but has been guided by a discerning knowledge of theories based on the results of successful teaching in the past and, especially, of recent experimental methods. The most important of those theories is concerned with ideals, and insists that the true aim of English-teaching is not to provide a supply of clerks and office-boys, but to open the gates of that enchanted world in which Richard Feverel dwelt as the type of educated adolescence, ´lord of kingdoms, where Beauty was his handmaid, and History his minister, and Time his ancient harper, and sweet Romance his bride; where he walked in a realm vaster and more gorgeous than the great Orient, peopled with heroes that have been´, the magic realm of Literature. And as literature is communion with the imagined world, so language is the means of intercourse with the real one.
