Theory and Analysis of Teaching Procedures in Ancient Languages and Literatures [ LGLOR2550 ]

Documentation relating to the course may be found on the iCampus server.

A thorough knowledge of Latin and Greek (for students of GLOR, LAFR or who have followed a minor in in Antiquity : Egypt, Near East, Greece, Rome).

A thorough knowledge of the dramatic arts (for students of CET).

This course deals with the following two themes:

- reflection on teaching practices arising out of a comparative analysis of the practical trainings (15 hours). This first theme is intended for the students of GLOR, LAFR and those who have done minor in Antiquity : Egypt, Near East, Greece, Rome.
- Critical analysis of an option in the secondary school (15 hours). This second theme is intended for students of GLOR, LAFR and THEA.

At the end of this course, the student will be capable of developing a critical reflection on the in-class training undertaken in the classes of the secondary sector, in order to develop a theory of the practical experiences. He will also be conscious, in an interdisciplinary prospect, of the epistemological stakes connected to the study and to the teaching of classical languages and literatures and/or of the dramatic arts.

Oral exam with written elements.

Lectures with an active participation of the students.

This course enables the development of a critical reflection on the practical trainings in class, so as to permit the theorisation of the various practices, and  to enable the student to realise, in an interdisciplinary perspective, what are the critical aspects related to study and teaching of classical languages and literature or dramatic arts.

Theme 1: Parting from particular and different experiences from the in-class trainings, the course aims to favour a re-examination of the theoretical basis given in LGLOR 2540 ( didactic) and a profound reflection on the students' experiences, distinguishing between what was one-off and what was inherent, and encouraging a constructive self-criticism. This course also will provide an occasion to present the difficulties encountered, be they of method, of pedagogy or didactic, and the proposed solutions.

Theme2: this part deals with, on the basis of a critical regard, the place of classical studies and dramatic arts in secondary education as optional subjects.
