Southern Conference on Language Teaching
March 10, 2009
On Saturday (March 7), I gave a talk at the annual meeting of the Southern Conference on Language Teaching in Atlanta. The title of the talk was “Translation Strategies for Students of an Inflected Language,” and it was targeted primarily at teachers of Latin. The audience was good, filled largely with Georgia secondary school Latin teachers, although a few were from out of state.
The material that I presented, which was adapted from my The First Latin Course: An Introductory Latin Grammar for Middle School, High School, and College (xlibris, 2007), was well received, and I hope that my methods will gain a foothold and that my book will find its way into school systems as a result.
This is my first presentation of the material since the book’s publication, and I plan to present at other language conferences in the near future. The book is available from the publisher or from Amazon.com.
