Description
This book presents current and emerging communicative practices in teaching and learning ancient languages, including Latin and Greek. It showcases approaches that have been adopted across different parts of the world, from the US to continental Europe.
These approaches focus on interaction with others using the ancient language, such as face-to-face conversations and written communication, with the aim of optimising learners' ability to read and engage with these languages. The book provides a vital survey of current issues in communicative language teaching, highlighting the benefits for students in school, university, and college classrooms.
It offers valuable insights and practical ideas for teachers and learners looking to adopt new pedagogical practices that promote engagement and retention among students who may find ancient languages challenging. This book is a useful resource for anyone interested in exploring alternative approaches to teaching and learning these subjects.
