Modern Language Teaching; The Official Organ Of The Modern Language Association (Volume Xi)

Book Overview

Voices from a defining moment in language teaching. It reads like a conference. Modern Language Teaching; The Official Organ Of The Modern Language Association (Volume Xi), by G. Anderson, J., is a modern language education journal that captures the debates, methods and observations shaping early 20th century education. As a language teaching periodical and modern language association publication, it presents a steady conversation between classroom practice and academic enquiry: contributions range from methodological reflection to reports that inform academic language instruction and foreign language pedagogy. Readers interested in language curriculum development and multilingual education research will recognise early articulations of issues still discussed today. It is a teachers and educators resource as much as a scholarly language studies collection, valued by university language departments and by anyone drawn to historical language teaching. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. The book stands as an important witness to the institutional work of university language departments, and to the debates that turned teaching into a disciplined profession. Its immediate value lies in the combination of practical orientation and analytical rigour: teachers and classrooms meet theory, and instructors will recognise the language of assessment, method and curriculum in these pages. For historians, the collection is a clear source for early 20th century education, illuminating historical language teaching and the early structures of multilingual education research. Casual readers interested in intellectual history will appreciate accessible argument and period detail; classic-literature collectors and institutional libraries will regard this careful edition as a desirable addition to any collection of educational culture. Thoughtful, exacting and quietly persuasive, this volume brings a vanished professional conversation back into view. A rich reference for both study and display.
