Caption
-
As a professor at Harvard, Ticknor advocated strongly for reform in pedagogical practices at the university. Unlike the teaching of classical languages, he asserts the value of speaking the modern languages in addition to reading them: “The most important characteristic of a living language, -- the attribute in which resides its essential power and value, -- is, that it is a spoken one.”
