Black Board Class Room Desk Gramophone Languages Learning Mortar Pupils Westminster


EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century as we explore the modern languages classroom at the prestigious Westminster School in Britain. In this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we see a group of young boys intently focused on their studies, surrounded by the trappings of a bygone era. The classroom, adorned with high ceilings, large windows, and ornate wooden desks, exudes an air of traditional academic rigor. The blackboard at the front of the room, filled with Latin and Greek scripts, serves as a reminder of the classical education that was once the cornerstone of British education. But what sets this scene apart is the innovative teaching tool at the heart of the room: an early wax cylinder gramophone. This technological marvel, a precursor to the modern record player, is being used to teach the boys a new language. The gramophone, with its intricate design and impressive size, would have been a source of fascination and excitement for the pupils. The teacher, standing at the front of the room, holds a pointer and guides the boys through their language lessons. The boys, dressed in crisp uniforms and focused expressions, listen intently as the gramophone plays recordings of native speakers, providing them with valuable exposure to the sounds and rhythms of the language. This photograph, taken in 1909, offers a glimpse into the rich history of education in Britain and the innovative methods used to teach modern languages in the early 20th century. The use of the wax cylinder gramophone represented a significant step forward in language instruction, allowing students to learn from authentic recordings and providing them with a more immersive and engaging learning experience.
