A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface The idea of adapting the Franzosische I ntonationsiibungen of H. Klinghardt and M. de Fourmestraux for English-speaking teachers and students first occurred to me when I was demonstrating Professor KH nghardt smethod at the Summer Vacation Courses for teachers of French, held at Durham in 1918 and 1920, under the auspices of the Board of Education. The teaching of intonation seemed to be a new problem for most of the teachers, but the simplicity and practicability of Professor KH nghardt smethod kindled their enthusiasm, and many urgent enquiries were made as to how and where his book could be obtained. Great disappointment was expressed when it was learned that the book was published in Germany, and that the Introduction and Notes were written in German for German teachers of French. Repeated requests for an English edition for English teachers followed, and this book is the outcome of those requests. It is hoped that it will supply a want, and that it will meet the needs of teachers for purposes of private study and also for use as a class-book. Experience has shown that where pupils have been taught French intonation systematically, there has been a marked increase in the efficiency of the oral work, and several of H.M. Inspectors have paid tribute to the often surprisingly good results thus obtained. Efficient oral work implies the teaching of two things the correct sounds and tones. As Mr. Harold Palmer says in his excellent book on English I ntonation the two things, pronunciation and intonation, are so bound up with each other that it is futile to teach or to learn one without the other. The Introduction has been specially rewritten and adapted for English-speaking teachers and students, and contains many H. Palmer, English I ntonation. Heffer, Cambridge, 1922, page v.
