摘要：This paper calls for profound reconsideration of Latin teaching methodologies and for the promotion of Latin as a communicative language rather than an artifact to be studied. It delineates the imperative for change as a necessity for the survival of Latin programs, then introduces the reader briefly to: the discipline of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research and certain principles derived from its results that are particularly relevant to learning Latin; and to instructional applications of SLA research that pertain primarily to the teaching of grammar. Finally, it calls for SLA research aimed specifically at the acquisition of Latin with fluent reading as the goal, which would not only inform instructional practice but would also serve to set Latin on a par with its modern language counterparts, yet one whose study provides unique benefits. An appendix offers examples of classroom activities that align with instructed SLA research results.
