> Dear colleagues,
> I am delighted to announce, at long last, the publication of my book  
> German Through English Eyes. A History of Language Teaching and  
> Learning in Britain 1500-2000, published by Harrassowitz, at a price  
> of 78 euro. (http://www.harrassowitz-verlag.de/title_832.ahtml - buy  
> now while the exchange rate is good!). Hopefully there is something  
> for everyone, and at the very least there are some nice pictures,  
> especially in Chapter 6, reflecting the history of representing  
> German culture and history to English-speaking learners.
> Regards,
> Nicola McLelland

> Chapter 1 Writing a history of foreign language learning in the UK
> Chapter 2 The birth of a subject: the first hundred years of German  
> as a Foreign Language in England (1615-1715)
> Chapter 3 Learning and teaching German in the 'long' nineteenth century
> Chapter 4 Teaching German in the twentieth century. What to teach and why?
> Chapter 5 Rules for the neighbours: The German language presented to  
> English-speaking learners
> Chapter 6 Don't mention the war? German culture and history in the  
> teaching of German, 1900-2000
> Chapter 7 - Outlook
> Bibliography : A chronological bibliography of German textbooks for  
> English speakers, 1600-2000 (and some other related sources);  
> Secondary Literature
>
> McLelland's pioneering study charts the history of foreign language  
> learning and teaching in the UK over five centuries (1500-2000),  
> taking German as her case study. From the first grammar of German  
> for English speakers, published in 1680, McLelland traces the growth  
> in interest in German for travel and trade, and its rapid increase  
> in prestige in the eighteenth century as a language of literary  
> merit, before German became established in schools and universities  
> from the second quarter of the nineteenth century onwards.
> Taking hundreds of textbooks as her primary sources, as well as the  
> pronouncements of teachers, examiners and policy-makers, McLelland  
> considers the changing reasons for teaching and learning German, and  
> the consequent changes in teaching methods (including the influence  
> of the Reform Movement around 1900, innovations such as language  
> laboratories, and, more recently, the communicative approach). She  
> analyses changes in how the German language was presented, including  
> advances in how the sound system and word order were described.  
> Finally, and crucially, she considers how German culture and history  
> have been represented to English-speaking learners, particularly  
> over the past hundred years, a century of troubled Anglo-German  
> cultural relations. A chronological bibliography of several hundred  
> textbooks for the period 1600-2000 will serve as a stimulus for  
> further research.
