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.
Together with "Critical Notes on Virgil" (De Gruyter 2016), this
volume offers an enlightening complement to the critical text of
the Georgics and the Aeneid recently published in the Bibliotheca
Teubneriana. In "Virgilian Parerga: Textual Criticism and Stylistic
Analysis" can be seen the progress owed to the insight of four of
the finest scholars of the past (Heinsius, Heyne, Ribbeck and
Sabbadini). The first chapters trace the steps of the arduous path
that from the middle of the 17th century on led these outstanding
erudites to free themselves from the uulgata and compose a new
critical text for the works of Virgil. The later chapters tackle
important questions of textual criticism and Virgilian style, and
propose new answers to inveterate exegetic problems. The volume
ends with an interesting theoretical discussion on the
methodological principles that combine the rules of philology with
those of law. Here the author questions the logical assumptions
that dominate not only the philological process but also the
judicial one.
Dictionary - Mtanthauziramawu: Chichewa / Chinyanja - English //
English - Chichewa / Chinyanja (3rd Edition). The English language
has acquired an important position in the societies of Central and
Southern Africa. However, the vernacular languages have remained
indispensable vehicles of communication. For more than 15 million
people in Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe
and South Africa, Chinyanja or Chichewa has become the most
important language of daily life.The language has gained importance
and strength by developments in its written and oral use, and
because an increasing number of its speakers have come to discover
and emphasise their common linguistic heritage and practice. In
that way it has become an intermediary language for all Malawians,
and for many ethnic groups in the whole of Central and Southern
Africa. This edition of the Chichewa / Chinyanja Dictionary has
more than 43,000 entries from and into English. It is an instrument
for Africans and expatriates, foreign workers and visitors,
students and teachers, and for those who deal with English and
Chichewa at a scientific or scholarly level. May it reduce the
language barrier between users of English and of Chichewa /
Chinyanja.
