Synopsis
This book explores the demands of modern language learning in the wake of World War 1, discussing how the war has shifted the perceived value of certain languages and their role in education, particularly regarding German. It questions the efficacy of current language teaching methods and explores the relationship between native tongue and learned language. The author examines the supposed innocence and unwitting victimization of German specialists, arguing that they understood the German political climate better than the general public and failed to use their knowledge to prevent the war. The book calls for the study of languages not only as tools of culture but as means of understanding other cultures and preventing conflict. Ultimately, this book argues for a shift in focus from solely teaching languages to teaching through languages, thereby using them to foster international understanding and cooperation.
