威廉?H?麥加菲，美國(guó)著名教育家。1800年出生于賓夕法尼亞州，1826年畢業(yè)于華盛頓大學(xué)杰斐遜學(xué)院。在數(shù)十年教育生涯中，他曾擔(dān)任過邁阿密大學(xué)語(yǔ)言學(xué)教授，俄亥俄大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)。自1845年開始任弗吉尼亞大學(xué)道德哲學(xué)教授。他還幫助組建了俄亥俄州公立學(xué)校體系。
早在19世紀(jì)初期，麥加菲就意識(shí)到，應(yīng)該給那些孤獨(dú)的墾荒者和歐洲移民的后代提供普遍的教育，于是他利用自己作為演講家與教育工作者的天賦，開始為孩子們編寫系列教材。這套教材共7冊(cè)，從學(xué)齡前至第6年級(jí)。他前后花費(fèi)了20多年的時(shí)間才完成全套教材的編寫。這套教材面世后就被美國(guó)很多學(xué)校選為課本。在75年間銷量高達(dá)1.22億，直到今天仍以各種版本流行于西方，被美國(guó)《出版周刊》評(píng)為“人類出版史上第三大暢銷書”，對(duì)美國(guó)青年的心靈塑造與道德培養(yǎng)產(chǎn)生了史無(wú)前例的影響。
William Holmes McGuffey (September 23, 1800 – May 4, 1873) was an
American professor and college president who is best known for
writing the McGuffey Readers, one of the nation's first and most
widely used series of textbooks. It is estimated that at least 122
million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960,
placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's
Dictionary.
He was born the son of Alexander and Anna (Holmes) McGuffey near
Claysville in Washington County, Pennsylvania, which is 45 miles
southwest of Pittsburgh. In 1802 the McGuffey family moved further
out into the frontier at Tuscarawas County, Ohio. He attended
country school, and after receiving special instruction at
Youngstown, he attended Greersburg Academy in Darlington,
Pennsylvania. Afterwards, he attended and graduated from
Pennsylvania's Washington College, where he became an
instructor.
He was close friends with Washington College's President Andrew
Wylie and lived in Wylie's house for a time; they often would walk
the 3 miles to Washington College together.
McGuffey's house in OxfordMcGuffey left Washington College in
1826 to become a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. A
year later in 1827, he was married to Harriet Spinning of Dayton,
Ohio, with whom he had five children. In 1829, he was ordained at
Bethel Chapel as a minister in the Presbyterian Church. It was in
Oxford that he created the most important contribution of his life:
The McGuffey Readers. His books sold over 122 million copies. He
was very fond of teaching and children as he geared the books
toward a younger audience.
In 1836, he left Miami to become president of Cincinnati College,
where he also served as a distinguished teacher and lecturer. He
left Cincinnati in 1839 to become the 4th president of Ohio
University, which he left in 1843 to become president of Woodward
College (really a secondary school) in Cincinnati.
In 1845, McGuffey moved to Charlottesville, Virginia where he
became Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. A
year after his first wife Harriet died in 1850, he married Miss
Laura Howard, daughter of Dean Howard of the University of
Virginia, in 1851. McGuffey is buried in the university burial
ground, in Charlottesville, Virginia. The School of Education at
Miami University is housed in McGuffey Hall which is named for him
and his home in Oxford is a National Historic Landmark offering
tours on weekdays.
目錄
這套讀本的英文原版共分七級(jí)，包括啟蒙讀本和第1-6級(jí)�？紤]到啟蒙讀本與第一級(jí)篇幅都較少，難易程度也很接近，于是將之合并為第1冊(cè)，其余2-6級(jí)與英文原版相同。這樣國(guó)內(nèi)出版的這套讀本共包括6冊(cè)。
從字母表開始，主要側(cè)重于字母的發(fā)音與書寫、簡(jiǎn)單的單詞與句型，同時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)英文書寫，課后附有不少書法練習(xí)，讓孩子們不僅將英語(yǔ)說得像外國(guó)人，而且寫得也跟外文書法一樣，這是國(guó)內(nèi)英語(yǔ)教學(xué)所缺少的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)。
