When Dead Tongues Speak introduces classicists to the research that linguists, psychologists, and language teachers have conducted over the past thirty years and passes along their most important insights. The essays cover a broad range of topics, including cognitive styles, peer teaching and collaboration, learning disabilities, feminist pedagogy, speaking, and writing. Each contributor addresses a different problem in the learning process based on his or her own teaching experience, and each chapter combines a theoretical overview with practical examples of classroom activities. The book was developed for classroom use in Greek and Latin methodology classes in M.A. and M.A.T. programs. It will also appeal to Latin and Greek language instructors who want to get current with the latest scholarship and pedagogical models.
Industry Reviews
"John Gruber-Miller, Professor of Classics at Cornell College and a much respected pedagogue, has enlisted seven other pedagogy specialists in the production of this must-read volume. All teachers of classical languages, from grade school to graduate school, will benefit considerably from the book's myriad insights--as ultimately, and most importantly, will their students." --Classical Outlook "This is at heart a book in which intelligent colleagues thoughtfully discuss important issues, and all those involved ought to be applauded for their efforts. Gruber-Miller's collection is absolutely indispensible. The individual articles can give us something to chew on, suggest interesting approaches, share the successful methods of individual instructors, and push us to sharpen our own day-to-day teaching. This volume is by no means the last word on any of the topics covered, but it contributes in a meaningful way to a worthy conversation." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review "This is at heart a book in which intelligent colleagues thoughtfully discuss important issues, and all those involved ought to be applauded for their efforts.
