Présentation de l'éditeur
Uit This book is designed to meet the requirements for language work in the second grade of Porto Rican elementary schools. The hope of making easier the problem of teaching the young Porto Rican to talk English has prompted these lessons. The material for the exercises has been drawn from the everyday interests of Porto Rican children. Since the children are familiar with these subjects and interested in them, they naturally want to tell what they know about them. Thus the exercises furnish an incentive, a motive, for expression, or language. The lessons help and guide the children in expression, both by furnishing the proper words and idioms and by leading them by directions or questions to their use in oral and written speech. Although it is thought unwise in the teaching of a strange language to young children, to attempt at the same time to give information on new and unfamiliar subjects, the author has directed the childrens observation to new elements in the old and familiar. In this way interest is maintained, and the children are helped to evaluate commonplaces which play an important part in their lives outside of the schoolroom and beyond their schooldays. Since expression in simple language, correct and idiomatic, is desired, the treatment of formal grammar has been held down to only that which the pupils need in order to do the exercises intelligently. The pictures, simple in outline, full of action, occasionally enlivened by a touch of humor, and supplemented by short reading lessons, serve to quicken interest and imagination, as well as to afford opportunity for class conversation. Suggestions to the teachers, in the footnotes and at the end of the book, are made full, simple, and explicit, with the idea of putting each earnest teacher in a position to secure the best results. The author gratefully acknowledges the help of Mr. R. S. Garwood, D
