SUMMARY:How does Classical Greek accentuation work?
DESCRIPTION:This on-line beginners’ course in Classical Greek Accentuation is delivered to you by London’s City Lit\, Europe’s largest centre for adult education.\n \n\n \nDates: 26/09/23 – 31/10/23\n \nTime: 14:00 – 15:30\n \nLocation: Online\n \nTutor: Andrew David (Biography below)\n \nCourse content\n \n\nWhether you are a student of Greek or a teacher of Greek\, if you have always wanted to apply the correct accentuation on Classical Greek texts\, but have never quite learnt how to do so – then this is your opportunity to gain a working knowledge of this essential skill for the teaching and learning of Classical Greek.\n\n \n\nTo book a place on this course visit https://www.citylit.ac.uk/ and search for course RG039.\n\n \n\n\n\n \nAbout Andrew David\n \n\nI studied Classics and trained as an English Language and Classics teacher\, at Pembroke College Oxford\, Exeter University\, International House\, and Harrow College of Further Education. I have over thirty years’ experience as an English Language teacher and ESOL Programme Manager in Further Education; and over twenty years’ experience designing and delivering museum tours for English Language students\, at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum. At the British Museum I also offer workshops for children on Ancient Greek and Egyptian Life\, and I have taught on the Museum’s Iraq Emergency Programme\, delivering English Language training for Iraqi Archaeologists. My first Classics teaching was private tuition in 1983\, and I have over twenty years’ of Classics teaching experience\, in Primary\, Secondary and Adult Education. Since 2012 I have been a  Tutor of Classics at City Lit\, where I currently teach Latin and Greek courses on-line\, and face-to-face at the British Museum: recent specialist courses include ‘Learning Latin through Latin’ (by the Direct Method)\, and Greek Accentuation. Publishing work includes leading on the forthcoming audio facility for the course-book ‘Reading Latin’ (Cambridge University Press 2016) widely used on Adult Education and University Classics courses. In all my courses I try to include speaking and listening work\, thus following the students’ stated preference for hearing how we think Latin and Greek were spoken in Classical times.

SUMMARY:Ancient Worlds\, New Horizons: Broadening the Study of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Worlds\, New Horizons: Broadening the Study of the PastUCL\, Wednesday 25 October 2023\n\n \n\n2:30 Welcome and introduction (Gesine Manuwald/Stephen Colvin)\n\n3:00 Phiroze Vasunia ‘Rethinking the Classical’\n\n \n\n3:30 Discussion\n\n3:45 Mairéad McAuley ‘Collaborative Pedagogy: building staff-student EDI partnerships’\n\n \n\n4:15 Discussion\n\n4:30 Tea\n\n5:00 Mark Weeden: keynote lecture\n‘War in heaven\, war on earth – mythology as a means of dealing with disaster’\n\n \n\nComparisons are frequently made between the mythology of the violent succession of kingship in heaven as known from Greek epic poetry of the 7th century BCE and similar stories that were circulating in the areas of northern Syria and central Turkey during the 2nd millennium BCE. But what did these stories mean to people in these areas\, how did they use them? Documents in the Hittite and Hurrian languages that are preserved from the time may be able to help us to understand this\, and new discoveries are continuing to throw more light on the matter every year.\n\n \n\n6:00 Close; refreshments.\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nThe expansion of cuneiform languages at UCL\, and the conclusion of a research project Comparative Classics: Greece\, Rome\, and India\, have been a catalyst to rethink the study of the ancient Mediterranean world and its neighbours\, and how best to structure degree programmes for a new and wider constituency. We are launching a new umbrella BA programme Classics and the Ancient World in 2024\, with three flexible pathways. The thinking behind this was\n\n– To reimagine the study of the ancient world and its reception for a new social and intellectual environment;\n– To protect smaller degree programmes;\n– To promote both intellectual diversity and interdisciplinarity in an academic environment which disfavours organisational fragmentation.\n\nOur colloquium will reflect on the challenges and rhetoric of studying the ancient world\, and on how we might reimagine the discipline for a new generation of students. We shall start with a brief overview of how the UCL BA and pathways will work\, and finish with an inaugural lecture by Mark Weeden.\n\nThe event is open to all\, and you are welcome to join us in person or via Zoom for all or some of this event.
