The Art Of Teaching And Studying Language

""The Art of Teaching and Studying Language"" by Francois Gouin is a classic book that offers insights into the methods and principles of language teaching and learning. Originally published in French in the 19th century, this book has been translated into several languages and continues to be a valuable resource for language teachers and learners today.Gouin's approach to language teaching is based on his belief that language learning should be a natural and intuitive process that mimics the way children learn their first language. He emphasizes the importance of using real-life situations and context to teach language, rather than relying solely on grammar rules and vocabulary lists.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Gouin's method of language teaching, which he calls the ""Series Method."" This method involves teaching language through a series of connected sentences that gradually increase in complexity. The goal is to help learners acquire language skills in a natural and intuitive way, without the need for explicit instruction.The second part of the book focuses on Gouin's method of language learning, which he calls the ""Analytic Method."" This method involves breaking down complex sentences into smaller parts and analyzing them to understand their meaning and structure. The goal is to help learners develop a deeper understanding of the language they are learning, which can then be applied to real-life situations.Overall, ""The Art of Teaching and Studying Language"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in language teaching and learning. Gouin's methods and principles are still relevant today and can be applied to a wide range of languages and contexts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
