Ivor Armstrong Richards

    26 februari 1893 – 7 september 1979

    Ivor Armstrong Richards was een invloedrijke Engelse literatuurcriticus en retoricus die een fundamentele figuur werd in de moderne literatuurkritiek. Zijn werken, met name die gericht op betekenis, literatuurkritiek en retoriek, legden de basis voor de New Criticism en introduceerden het concept van 'praktische kritiek'. Deze benadering leidde tot de ontwikkeling van nauwkeurige leesmethoden, die worden beschouwd als het begin van de hedendaagse Engelse literatuurstudies. Richards wordt algemeen erkend als een van de grondleggers van de moderne literatuurwetenschap.

      The English Through Pictures series, created by I.A. Richards and Christine Gibson, aims to help learners quickly and clearly master English through visual aids. The authors carefully selected the most useful English words, focusing on those that can define others, and organized them into key patterns for effective communication. Book 1 introduces 250 essential words, followed by an additional 500 in Book 2. Together, these 750 words are utilized in Book 3 to develop a vocabulary of 1000 words, which can help learners understand up to 20,000 words in English due to their defining power. The series emphasizes learner responsibility, allowing individuals to immediately apply essential words in creating meaningful sentence patterns illustrated with simple drawings. This approach enhances focus on sentence structure and builds confidence as learners gain control over the language. The workbooks in Books 1 and 2 provide challenges that reinforce their developing skills as speakers and readers. With motivation and inspiration, learners will discover that fluent communication in English, the global lingua franca, is well within their reach. The series has already benefited millions in over forty countries.
