François Gouin

François Gouin (1831-1896) was a French language teacher.

In 1880 he pointed out the importance of a structured presentation of the subject matter by grouping the everyday-oriented vocabulary according to associative contexts in his concept. According to Gouin, you should learn a foreign language just as you learned your mother tongue as a child. The most important thing in language learning is not seeing, but hearing. You should leave your mother tongue aside and learn the rules of the foreign language through intuition. The teaching of a foreign language should take place without the explanation of grammar rules and without the help of translation. The living language should be the focus of the lesson with the help of associations, visualizations and learning through the senses through playful activities related to everyday situations.
