The Teaching Of Oral English Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Teaching of Oral English In these days of modern efficiency, pedagogy must be practical. It must yield results. Both press and general public have arraigned the schools of the country for failure to produce effective spoken English. Thoughtful teachers acknowledge that pupils leave school with slovenly speech largely because there is no regular supervision of their speech and no systematic practice in oral composition. The new movement in teaching English, therefore, under the inspiring leadership of the English Journal and the National Council of Teachers of English, is a strong reaction in favor of oral English.

Excerpt from Oral English or the Art of Speaking This book has been written to supply a need. The vocational and civic importance of the ability to speak has been recognized by teachers of English throughout the country, but as yet the meaning of Oral English is rather vaguely and variously understood. We are con scious of our goal, but we lack method in our efforts to attain it. It is true that we no longer imagine that the art of speaking can be taught in a half-dozen lessons to the commencement speaker or the interscholastic debater.

Excerpt from Oral and Written English: Primary Book How shall we displace with natural, correct, and pointed written expression the lifeless school composition of the past, the laborious production of which was of exceedingly doubtful educational value and gave pleasure neither to child nor to teacher? These are some of the questions to which this textbook aims to give constructive answers. Needless to say, much more is required in the way of answer than a supply of raw material for language work or a graded sequence of formal lessons in primary English. It is the purpose of the present book to provide a series of schoolroom situations, so built up as to give pupils delightful experiences in speaking and writing good English. Since one can no more teach without the interest of the pupil than see with out light, these situations have for their content the natural inter ests of children. They therefore include child life and the heroic aspects of mature life, fairies and fairyland, and the outer world.

Excerpt from An Oral System Of Teaching Living Languages: Illustrated By A Practical Course Of Lessons, In The French, Through The Medium Of The English Now if there were a process through which the acquisition of a foreign language can be rendered easy, safe, and certain, it must be the process which nature follows in teaching us our mother tongue; for it cannot be doubted that she adopts the best means to attain her ends. This is a truth which, I apprehend, will be con tested by few nay, it has been so universally admitted, that almost all teachers have professed to take nature for' their model.2 But how have they put their pro fessions into practice? This question I Will undertake to answer. I will presently show, in as detailed a manner as the limits of a prefatory address Will allow, that the divers systems, heretofore resorted to, are erroneous and totally at variance with the nature of the human intellect, with the constitution of human language, and with the respective relations which subsist between them.
