Excerpt from A Course in German Composition, Conversation and Grammar Review: For Use in Schools and Colleges
Of the reading matter at the disposal of the author, thirty-two pieces have been selected for this volume as the groundwork for just as many lessons, which the author thinks can be thoroughly studied in one school year of thirty-six weeks, allowing one recitation at the end of each quarter for reviewing, sight reading, or extempore writing.
The German selections include narrative, epistolary, descriptive, and easy essay styles, and, being carefully graded, they rise from the light and pleasing mystery of the nursery tale to the sober disquisition of the scientific theorem. For this reason, and since no two of these selec tions have come from the pen of the same writer, they naturally differ greatly in regard to diction and phrase ology, a feature not to be underrated in a book purporting to serve as an introduction to composition work.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a course in German composition for students who already possess a knowledge of German grammar, and have read some easy German prose. The course of study is developed in accordance with the latest educational science, which gives it the specific character of being interesting, easy to follow, and yet thorough in its treatment of the subject matter. The author does not waste time on theoretical discussions of language but plunges at once into the practical study of the language, beginning with written and oral exercises founded upon the reading matter in the book. In addition to the regular grammatical exercises, conversation and dictation exercises are given, to supplement the reading matter, and the vocabulary is carefully chosen so as to cover nearly all words used in general conversation. Each lesson contains a German narrative, selected for its literary merits and interest of subject, and serves as a basis for practical exercises. These exercises are so constructed as to cover the essentials of German grammar. The author's long and successful experience as an instructor of modern languages guarantees the practical efficiency of this method.
