Reinhard-Mika, Marie-Luise (2024). Riassunto della tesi di dottorato di Marie-Luise Reinhard-Mika: Est saeculum et mos certus in litteris. Johann Matthias Gesners (1691–1761) Lateindidaktik im Anbeginn der Mehrsprachigkeit. Ars docendi, 20, settembre 2024.
Dr. phil. Marie-Luise Reinhard-Mika, M.Ed. (Latin, French) from Mainz and Tours University and former graduate assistant under Prof. Christine Walde (Mainz), has acquired considerable skills of written and spoken Latin. Her simultaneous interest also in the history of classical scholarship led to her Ph.D.Thesis that focuses on Johann Matthias Gesner’s (1691-1761) ideas about Latin instruction. On the following pages, Reinhard-Mika gives a brief overview of the main aspects of her dissertation: In the 18th century, Latin pedagogy underwent a significant transformation, influenced by Johann Matthias Gesner. This research explores the relationship between spoken Latin and translation, examining alternative approaches like speaking Latin, which challenges traditional methods. By analyzing Gesner’s contributions, including his teaching philosophy and his role as a reformer, this work sheds light on the extent to which historical Latin teaching methods might inform contemporary education. It ultimately questions the balance between translation and spoken Latin in modern language instruction.
