Synopsis

This early work Otto Jespersen was originally published in 1904 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'How to Teach a Foreign Language' is a scholarly study on the best methods and techniques for encouraging language acquisition. Otto Jespersen was born in Randers, Denmark on 16th July 1869. He worked as an academic at Copenhagen University and rose to the position of professor of English, a post he held from 1893 to 1925. Jespersen made a considerable contribution to the study of linguistics and some of his works are still used as the basic texts for study in the field.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When, in accordance with a wish expressed byE nglish and American friends, I determined to have myS progundervisning translated into English, I found it difficult to decide what to retain and what to leave out of the original. So much of what I had written appeared to me to apply more or less exclusively toD anish schools and Danish methods, and I had too little personal experience of the practice of English teachers or of English school-books to be quite sure of the advisability in each case of including or excluding this or that remark. I have, however, made my choice to the best of my ability, and if some parts of my criticism are not altogether applicable toE nglish methods, I hope I may be excused on the plea that what is now the really important thing is less the destruction of bad old methods than a positive indication of the new ways to be followed if we are to have thoroughly efficient teaching in modern languages. OTTO JESPERSEN. Gentofte, Near Copenhagen.
