Earliest language teaching methods revisited
21 October 2009
Some of the earliest forms of teaching languages through pictures, sound, and gesture will be covered in a lecture at the University of Cambridge’s Festival of Ideas later on this month. Barry Jones, Fellow in Modern Languages at Homerton College will present “Modern language teaching: ways and means, past and present” which will cover a range of methods and techniques some dating as far back as 1658. The talk is jointly sponsored by Cambridge ESOL, Routes into Languages East and Cambridge University Press and will take place on Thursday 29 October
The festival which hosts a range of events and discussions starts today and runs until 1 November. To find out more about this event, please visit the festival of ideas website.
