Using Diachronic Linguistics in the Language Classroom.

Arteaga, Deborah L.; Herschensohn, Julia

Modern Language Journal, v79 n2 p212-22 Sum 1995

This article argues that knowledge of the historical background of a language can be profitably integrated into its teaching at the elementary and intermediate levels. The use of diachronic linguistics is illustrated in the teaching of first-year college French, with specific applications based on pronunciation, vocabulary, morphology, and syntax.
