Good work about teaching a foreign language in a class.

[Scheherazade · Rating 3 out of 5]

After more than 120 years, it no longer seems novel.

I am always amazed when books, especially books on didactics and pedagogy, written over a hundred years ago can still be used today. Of course, some tweaking is necessary, but I can see several things I can apply to teaching English right now.

Didn't find anything too earth-shaking. But then again, all of my foreign language instruction post-dated this book by a significant period of time.
