The Study of English (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 4 d’ag. 2015 - 398 pàgines Excerpt from The Study of English At the end of each of the chapters, beginning with Chapter II and ending with Chapter XX, is a fifth lesson entitled Penmanship, Dictation, or Memorizing Exercise. These exercises may be used for various purposes. The student may write them out and bring them to class simply as exercises in penmanship, or he may memorize them and in class recite or write them out. They may also be used as dictation exercises. In the French schools a great deal is made of dictation; not only because it trains in penmanship, spelling, and punctuation, but also because it helps to develop a close and keen attention on the part of the student. After the students have written out their dictation exercise, it is a good plan to have them correct their own or their neighbors' papers. The value of these dictation exercises cannot be overestimated. The writer would urge all teachers of English composition to read through, for further suggestions as to the importance of this kind of work, Professor Rollo Walter Brown's How the French Boy Learns to Write.
