Synopsis

A practical, old-fashioned language program designed for school use. This edition emphasizes that grammar rules are tools to improve expression, not ends in themselves, and it shows a clear path from subject knowledge to spoken and written practice.

The book organizes lessons around speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with a strong focus on composition as the backbone of language study. It explains how to sequence activities, balance drills with writing, and use corrective work to build confident expression. A rich section offers teacher-facing guidance and concrete activities to keep pupils engaged and progressing.

• Step-by-step methods that connect information gathering, oral and written practice, and grammar corrections.


• Practical drills, examples, and exercises designed for seventh- and eighth-grade language work.


• Guidance on how to plan lessons, assess progress, and use composition to reinforce grammar concepts.


• Notes and suggestions for teachers to maximize clarity and results in classroom or home settings.

Ideal for teachers, tutors, or families seeking a time-tested approach to building strong language skills through speaking, writing, and careful grammar practice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Most newspaper editors condemn severely the results obtained from the teaching of language and grammar in the elementary schools. Usually, they place the blame on the teachers. Many of these editors say that the boy who runs the linotype machine can correct the communication received from the average teacher so that its appearance in the paper will not be a disgrace from the standpoint of language and grammar. This is true, they say, in spite of the fact that teachers can recite more rules of grammar than can members of any other profession, while the boy who corrects their manuscripts may never have looked inside a text-book on grammar. While this wholesale condemnation by editors and publishers of the language work done in the primary and grammar grades is too severe, there is no denying the fact that something is radically wrong with that work. But the teachers are not wholly, nor even mainly, responsible for these results. To what then are these poor results due? They are due mostly to the two extreme methods that text-books and school officials have compelled teachers to follow. The older of these methods, as laid down in the text-book, made language and grammar work consist mainly of memorizing the terms and rules of technical grammar. No provision was made for real constructive work in conversation and composition.
