2017 Workshop Talk | 0:50:48 | All Grade Levels, Latin, Greek & Language
Summary
Students in a foreign or classical language class almost invariably think of the meaning of words in terms of equivalents in their native language: “equus” means “horse”; “aquila” means “eagle”. This is not only untrue, it is one of the greatest obstacles to learning a new language, understanding texts written in a foreign language, and attaining to those very real benefits that advocates of Classical Education have identified. This workshop will deal with the problem of presenting meaning in foreign languages and offer practical solutions for use in
the classroom.
