About this title

Synopsis

Reimagining language study for a modern education

This classic treatise argues that learning living languages from an early age can transform how students read, think, and engage with the world. It presents a bold plan to place modern languages at the center of schooling, alongside and in place of traditional Latin and Greek study.

In clear, practical terms, the author outlines a step‑by‑step path: start a living language with children, gradually add second languages, and integrate rigorous philology later. The goal is a unified, durable linguistic education that serves all students—from future professionals to lifelong learners.

• Why modern languages should occupy a central role in early education
• A concrete method for introducing living languages to young learners
• How to structure college and post‑collegiate study for lasting language mastery
• Why reading, speaking, and cultural literacy matter across disciplines

Ideal for readers interested in education reform, curriculum design, and the long-term benefits of multilingual instruction.
