Nous voudrions, nous autres membres de la Modern Language Association, que la formation des professeurs de langues dans les nouvelles Modern Secondary Schools comprennent une annee entiere passee a I'etranger; qu'ils omettent les etudes plus approfondies de la litterature classique; qu'ils ne sachent pas pour ainsi dire rien de I'histoire de la langue et de I'ancien et du moyen frangais. Tout cela, si important soit-il, n'est rien a cote d'une connaissance pratique de la langue parlee et des moeurs et des institutions de la France

J'ai deja dit, nous considerons, nous autres de la Modern Language Association, que les professeurs qui ne connaissent pas bien leur langue ne devraient pas I'enseigner.



Nous esperons justement, nous autres de la 'Modern Language Association, faire faire des disques de chansons His Master's Voice
