Teaching Latin: Contexts, Theories, Practices

As the sequel to Starting to Teach Latin, this book is a guide for new and more experienced school teachers of Latin. It draws on multiple examples of real teachers and students as they develop the knowledge and understanding of how to comprehend frequently used, adapted and original texts from beginners' to advanced levels. Steven Hunt considers deductive, inductive and communicative methods which support teachers in making the best choices for their students' needs and their own personal preferences. Building on and updating some of the issues addressed in Starting to Teach Latin, Hunt provides a resume of teaching approaches and a survey of developments in the field of Classics education at the beginning of the 21st century. This includes looking at Latin in primary schools; the initiatives to bring Latin into public (state-funded) schools in the UK and US; and an analysis of the growing contrast between progressive and neo-traditional approaches to teaching Latin at universities. Teachers of Latin will find this book an invaluable tool inside and outside of the classroom.
