Henri Besse : Comenius et sa « méthode d'enseignement graduée » Around 1630, J. A. Comenius wrote two definitive books about what he was one of the first to call 'didactics'. One of them presents a programme, and was later published with the title Didactica magna, the other implements this art of teaching in a Latin textbook known as the Ianua linguarum reserata. In spite of the fact that they envisage things in a mediaeval way, these books represent a change of viewpoint in the lengthy socio-historical construction of western reflection on the teaching and learning of languages, more specifically on its relationship to grammar. Comenius initiates a change by setting this reflection in a large curricular project where languages are learnt always one after the other and never simultaneously, going from mother tongue to dead languages. Beginners learn the language from an epitome written so that the most frequent words and phrases are presented as the ready made key to a grammar adapted to the language that is already known, and where only the differences are stressed, i. e. which takes the language they already use into account, as well as the way it was taught to them. These proposals are still, nowadays, indicative of a sort of educational utopia.
