This book for teachers provides a solid basis for the teaching of modern languages in Steiner-Waldorf Schools. It discusses extensively Rudolf Steiner’s view of the nature of language in relation to child development and also of the practical classroom questions of curriculum and teaching method.
This book will appeal not only to modern language teachers but to anyone interested in the ideas underlying Steiner-Waldorf education.
“The chapter entitled ‘Background Considerations’ is a veritable treasure trove of notions and insights covering a wide range of language-related topics.... This book, I would say, is an essential read for those who may be contemplating committing themselves to what appears to be a challenging, but no doubt thoroughly rewarding, career in language teaching, but Waldorf teachers in general would find in it much of relevance for them, too.”
