This volume had its origins in two Classical Association conferences at the University of Edinburgh in 2016 and then at Leicester in 2018 in which the editors and a small group of friends and colleagues (Terence Tunberg, Laura Manning, Jason Harris, Aislinn McCabe, Alma ODonnell, Clive Letchford, Rachel Plummer and Fergus Walsh) presented panels on the topic of Living Latin to university academics and school teachers. The idea of speaking Latin to learn Latin had been an important and noticeable trend in some US classrooms for many years previously, but it had not yet entered into the consciousness of the school classroom in the UK. From this point we decided that a concerted effort needed to be made to introduce for wider consideration, not just the practice, but also the theory behind communicative approaches to teaching and learning ancient languages. The result is this book.
