Download or read book Teaching Latin: Contexts, Theories, Practices written by Steven Hunt. This book was released on 2022-03-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on and updating some of the issues addressed in Starting to Teach Latin, Steven Hunt provides a guide for novice and more experienced teachers of Latin in schools and colleges, who work with adapted and original Latin prose texts from beginners' to advanced levels. It draws extensively on up-to-date theories of second language development and on multiple examples of the practices of real teachers and students. Hunt starts with a detailed look at deductive, inductive and active teaching methods, which support teachers in making the best choices for their students' needs and for their own personal preferences, but goes on to organise the book around the principles of listening, reading, speaking and writing Latin. It is designed to be informative, experimental and occasionally provocative. The book closes with two chapters of particular contemporary interest: 'Access, Diversity and Inclusion' investigates how the subject community is meeting the challenge of teaching Latin more equitably in today's schools; and 'The Future' offers some thoughts on lessons that have been learnt from the experiences of online teaching practices during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Practical examples, extensive references and a companion website at www.stevenhuntclassics.com are included. Teachers of Latin will find this book an invaluable tool inside and outside of the classroom.

Book Synopsis Starting to Teach Latin by : Steven Hunt

Download or read book Starting to Teach Latin written by Steven Hunt. This book was released on 2016-02-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook for teachers provides both practical, up-to-date guidance and a theoretical overview on a number of key topics in Latin teaching. Using a wealth of interviews, observations and pupil transcripts, Steven Hunt title utilizes case-study evidence of excellent practice in teaching and learning from a wide variety of institutions: from outreach programmes, community schools and academies in the UK, to New York Charter Schools, KIP schools and schools in Eastern Seaboard states in the USA. Offering practical advice on topics such as essay writing, teaching controversial topics including women, slavery, ethnicity and social hierarchy, making use of primary sources and using ICT to advance language skills, the book also engages with broader questions of approach and theory. These include a survey of the three main approaches to Latin teaching: grammar-translation, communicative and reading approaches; explanation of cognitive and social approaches to learning; and analysis of the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Moreover, traditional arguments about the value and purpose of learning Latin at school level are re-examined in the light of current educational thinking and government policy-making. This book is invaluable for trainees, newly qualified teachers and more experienced practitioners looking for practical ideas and strategies to motivate and engage learners of Latin. A companion website www.startingtoteachlatin.org is under construction and will contain a range of resources and information for teachers.

Book Synopsis Methods of Teaching Latin by : Morgan A. Nicoulin

Download or read book Methods of Teaching Latin written by Morgan A. Nicoulin. This book was released on 2019. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project, I present a way to effectively blend modern theories of language acquisition and the contemporary practice of teaching Latin. I intend to demonstrate that a curriculum is able to balance both traditional and innovative philosophies by adapting Second Language Acquisition Theory's idealized way to learn a language to fit the realistic limitations of the classroom. I begin with a discussion of the history of language pedagogy, focusing on Latin's influence on the study of language learning from antiquity to present. Next, I present the key topics in SLA and the practical implications of this research for today's Latin classrooms. I then turn from the scholarly theories of language acquisition to the daily practices of Latin teachers. Basing my discussion on an IRB-approved survey, I consider the goals and practices of contemporary Latin educators, concentrating on the three dominant teaching methodologies: the Grammar and Translation, Comprehensible Input, and Reading Methods. Finally, I briefly discuss a selection of the factors that affect course design and teaching practices and limit the applicability of idealized learning methods. In conclusion, I argue that today's Latin teachers should adopt a hybrid approach. Instead of strictly aligning with one methodology, teachers should define and adapt their practices to meet the goals of their classrooms and the needs of their students.
