"Practical Exercises in English" by Huber Gray Buehler is an instructional text that likely dates back to the late 19th century. This comprehensive guide focuses on improving English language skills through practical exercises, primarily aimed at teachers and students looking to refine their understanding and use of the English language. The book emphasizes the development of good habits in expression, highlighting the importance of correct usage and avoidance of common errors through user-friendly exercises. At the start of the book, Buehler outlines the rationale behind its creation, emphasizing that proper language usage is acquired more through practice than mere knowledge. He critiques conventional methods that rely on correcting predefined errors in sentences, arguing that this approach can lead students to merely bypass mistakes rather than learn from them. Instead, he proposes structured exercises that focus on making correct choices, using examples from literature, and establishing strong habits. The opening also acknowledges the debt to Professor A.S. Hill's "Foundations of Rhetoric," which serves as the foundational text for Buehler's exercises, providing a collaborative framework for teaching English effectively.
