PREFACE.

The object of this book is to present in convenient form miaitter for teaching adult foreigners the con¬ structions of

English

sentences and f or teaching .them at the same time an

English

vocabulary of the kind required by beginners. There being no necessary logical arrangement, the chief usages of

English

speech are presented in the order that seems best adapted to the require¬ ments of teaching. The matter of the book has been arranged so that each lesson shall introduce only one new feature, apart of course from new words, and at -the same time shall repeat, in forms varying to meet the requirements of drill, words and construc¬ tions previously learned. The thought expressed by the

English

sentences used in the first two parts of the book can be readily communicated to the pupils by the use of objects, gestures, motions, and signs, and always should be so communicated when being presented for the first time. In the early stages of the instruction many of the most important processes of learning oral and written speech must of necessity take place in the presence of the teacher and under her immediate observation and control. While these are going on, however, the teacher need utter no words, and in¬ deed ishould utter none, except what are required to make the original utterance of the

English

phrase or sentence that is being taught, and except what are necessary afterwiard to repeat it from time to time at the proper moment in order to correct the leameris pronunciation and to reinforce his new impression. If the recitation is rightly conducted, no talk by the teacher is ever required to arouse interest or hold! attention. Oral explanations and suggestions made

IV PREFACE

while ithe main objects of the lesson are the center of attention may be dispensed with altogether; and if offered, they usually come as a distraction and a distinct hindrance to learning. But the zealous teacher particularly, althougfli she may know this, often finds it difficult to refrain from attempiting such assistance. Soquotesdbs_dbs5.pdfusesText_9
