How to Teach a Foreign LanguagePaperback, 4 April 2013

This early work Otto Jespersen was originally published in 1904 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'How to Teach a Foreign Language' is a scholarly study on the best methods and techniques for encouraging language acquisition. Otto Jespersen was born in Randers, Denmark on 16th July 1869. He worked as an academic at Copenhagen University and rose to the position of professor of English, a post he held from 1893 to 1925. Jespersen made a considerable contribution to the study of linguistics and some of his works are still used as the basic texts for study in the field.
