Classical Language Pedagogy Workshop: November 2, 2024

Teaching Grammar Communicatively

Hosted by the UMass Boston Classics Faculty
Sponsored by the Classical Association of New England

     

      • Sat. November 2, 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM

      • In person @ UMass Boston

      • Free with advance registration

    Classical language educators at all levels are invited to join us for a one-day
    workshop on evidence-based practices for teaching Latin and Ancient Greek. This
    year’s topic is teaching grammar communicatively. How do second language
    learners acquire the knowledge and use of syntax and morphology? How can we
    use the insights of second language acquisition (SLA) research to create more
    effective grammar lessons? How can we break out of the endless cycle of verb
    drills and paradigm charts?

    Although this workshop is especially designed for early career classical language
    educators, e.g. those who are new to secondary school teaching or graduate
    students teaching or TAing language courses for the first time, all Latin and Greek
    teachers are welcome to participate.
