Aldine Language Method, Vol. 2: A Manual for Teachers Using Second Language Book (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Aldine Language Method, Vol. 2: A Manual for Teachers Using Second Language Book

That these ends can really be achieved - and through exercises that make the language period the most natural and interesting instead of the most formal and the driest period in the day - is neither a theory nor a dream; it is a fact that has been accomplished with ever growing success, year after year, with hundreds of children - children of all thevarieties usually found in a city school system. The Aldine Language Books have not been made in the study by theorists; they are the outgrowth of more than fifteen years of thoughtfully supervised efforts in scores of classrooms, efiorts to teach chil dren to do correctly and well what they can scarcely avoid doing in some way to think and to feel, and to express their thoughts and feelings through language.

The pupils' book, the A [fine Second Language Book, is entirely addressed to the pupil; the lan guage and style of the book is intelligible and inter esting to children. In using this book, children learn to study, acquire habits of independent thought and action, which are of more fundamental impor tance even than a knowledge of language.
