Short description: | Clarke's "The Phonograph in Modern Language Teaching" | |
Medium description: | Charles C Clarke's "The Phonograph in Modern Language Teaching" in which Clarke calls for teachers to look again at the use of "talking machines" in language teaching "[i]n view of the impetus given by the war". Talks about the recent advances in sound quality and the increased availability of language courses, or "systems". Suggests that "the true success of the speech record is in the teaching of pronunciation and nothing else should be asked of it" but that for it to be successfully employed the instructor must be "well grounded in the phonetics of the language taught". | |
