The Ancient Today: Living Traditions of Classical Language Education

该项目旨在首次将世界文化中的古代语言教育与“古典”文学进行比较。它希望通过比较不同时代和文化的教学理想和实践，阐明历史上和当今全球教育体系中汉语、希腊语、拉丁语和梵语古典语言教育的目的和价值。它旨在测试包容性古典语言学习的潜力，以提高弱势学生的教育成果。其他预期成果包括两本书、学术文章、教育政策报告和博士生培训。这将加强不同文化间的理解，并使学生、教育工作者、决策者和广大公众受益。

This project aims to compare, for the first time, ancient language education across world cultures with ‘classical’ literatures. It expects to illumine the purpose and value of classical language education in Chinese, Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit historically and within global education systems today by comparing pedagogic ideals and practices across times and cultures. It aims to test the potential of inclusive classical language learning to boost educational outcomes for disadvantaged students. Other expected outcomes include two books, scholarly articles, education policy reports, and PhD student training. This should strengthen intercultural understanding and benefit school students, educators, policy makers and the wider public.
