The adaptation of Late Latin grammars from the schools of the Roman
Empire for use in a foreign Christian society culminated in the
British Isles in the 7th and 8th centuries in the development of
two distinct types of grammar designed respectively for elementary
and for more advanced students. These works, whether they take the
form of elaborate commentaries on the classical grammarians, or of
simple collections of paradigms, reflect the reading and
intellectual preoccupations of their authors, the first teachers in
the West to face the problem of large-scale formal foreign-language
teaching. The influence of the Insular grammarians extended far
beyond their own time: their works, taken to the Continent by Irish
and Anglo-Saxon missionaries, shaped both the latinity and the
pedagogical technique of their pupils the Carolingians, and their
influencein foreign-language teaching has persisted until our own
time.
