Designed for instructors in schools and universities, as well as stakeholders and policy-makers in education everywhere, this book is a systematic guide to contemporary school teaching of classical languages, literature and civilisation in major countries across the world. This book examines the trends and assesses the rationale for such diversity in programmes of study and asks the question: What are classical subjects for in today's schools?
Each chapter is arranged by geographical area and draws on the experiences of teachers and other education experts in each country, commenting on contemporary practices. Themes such as the impact of national education policies, enrolment, assessment, accessibility and inclusion are discussed. The teaching of Classics has wide variations in practices and purposes from one education system to another: in some, the teaching of Classics continues to be focused on the mastery of language and grammar; in others, active use of the ancient languages is growing in popularity; and yet in others, the focus is shifting towards the study of the languages and civilisations in translation. Presenting an overview survey and comparison of practices across the world, this book is essential reading for instructors and teaching training courses in the world of classical education.
Arvustused
A welcome new resource for the global classics community ... A heartening account of the many people who care deeply about the provision of classics education and can speak to the immense good it can do for students and for society without turning a blind eye to the historical and contemporary problems of the discipline. * Classical Journal * Teachers of Latin (and to a lesser extent, of Greek) in the U.S. often find themselves the only classics teacher in their school, or even in their community. This book demonstrates that they are part of a diverse international fellowship, in which everyone faces and responds to an array of challenges. * Mary L. B. Pendergraft, Professor Emeritus of Classics, Wake Forest University, USA *
