Ars docendi 15/2023
Premessa – Vorwort – Foreword [Adami]
The June issue is concerned to the question of the breadth and wide scope of Latin teaching. Many universities and publishers have long since set out on this path and offer numerous impulses for teaching Latin that is, of course, still dedicated to the Latin language and language structures as well as texts, but which also increasingly expands the central cultural area.
The contributions in the June issue are dedicated to these possibilities, starting from very different perspectives:
the reception of ancient texts (the contribution is the third and last of a larger project, namely to grasp "Antigone", in particular the chorus, in different aspects of reception and interpretation), history/archaeology, the fine arts, anthropology as well as rhetoric and the transfer of ancient texts into the language of today.
These are exciting approaches that I would like to recommend to our readers.
Latin and Greek teaching, like all other teaching areas, must regularly question itself and grow with today's society and its demands. I think this is a crucial question, not only for research, but also for the school, which is closest to the students and their needs in life.
This June issue is intended to inspire us not only to see the manifold interconnections ourselves, but also to use them in the classroom, for our pupils, who are supposed to "discover" Latin lesson by lesson again and again.
Try out all the didactic possibilities these networks offer!
