"This handbook was developed to meet the needs of young parents and teachers interested in Waldorf child psychology and curriculum. I have applied these ideas and methods in many different school settings, ranging from inner-city classes of below-grade-level readers to independent prep schools and even one Summerhill-type school. The ideas work. For best results, the children need the total Waldorf experience, the whole atmosphere of freedom and creativity built up by a dedicated collegium of teachers who respect and love the children.

At one level, the teaching and learning foreign languages has its own set of skills and challenges for teacher and student.

Erhard Dahl, an experienced language teacher, here offers a wealth of insight into how Steiner-Waldorf schools approach foreign language teaching, including English as a Foreign Language in non-English speaking coun...
