Oreste Pucciani
[edit]- ... that in 1948 Oreste Pucciani, champion of the "direct method" of language teaching, banned English from his classroom at UCLA? Source: "Returning to the United States in 1947, Pucciani lectured at Harvard, before joining the faculty of the University of California Los Angeles as an Assistant Professor of French in 1948" ([1]) and "He was a champion of the "direct method" of language teaching, which banned English from the classroom from the first day and called for all instruction to take place in the target language" ([2])
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Article is new and long enough. It is neutral and cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports 36.7% and 11.5% similar text in the sources. However, they are special words. Hook is well-formatted and its length is within limit. It is interesting and its fact is cited inline. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 08:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
