Reviews
This book provides a welcome (and indeed overdue) contribution to the discussion of language pedagogy in Classics. The diversity of approaches and settings in this volume will appeal equally to the communicative convert, the novice and to anyone interested in advancing their understanding of Latin and Greek pedagogy. -- Aisha Khan-Evans, Lecturer in Classics Education, King's College London, UK
All of the contributors are owed a great deal of thanks from the Classics-teaching community for contributing to this innovative and forward-thinking volume. * Classics for All *
Represents a significant step forward in the development, and push, for various groups, individuals and institutions practising or advocating these approaches in historical languages. * The Classical Review *
[T]here is much here for all looking to shift their pedagogy and add new teaching tools ... No clearer explication of the need for change can be found than in Communicative Approaches, whose contributors' teaching reflects the realities of Latin and Greek instruction, which is sustained in large part by the creativity and commitment of its teachers. * The Classical Outlook *
