The idea for this special issue of Journal of Classics Teaching arose from the conference ‘Monsters in the classroom: Latin and Greek at primary school’ which Steve Hunt (Cambridge), Lidewij Van Gils (Amsterdam), and myself (Ghent) co-organised in January of 2022.1 This conference gathered teaching expertise from eight countries and attracted more than 120 participants from 20 countries to discuss both the successes and challenges related to current international practice in the teaching of Classical languages at primary school. It became a constructive and fruitful event, where participants from different countries shared good practice in order to learn from each other and formulate steps forward.
《经典教学杂志》这期特刊的想法源于“教室里的怪物”会议:由Steve Hunt(剑桥)、Lidewij Van Gils(阿姆斯特丹)和我本人(根特)于2022年1月共同组织的“小学的拉丁语和希腊语”会议。本次会议汇集了来自8个国家的教学专家，吸引了来自20个国家的120多名与会者，讨论了当前国际上在小学古典语言教学中的成功和挑战。这是一次富有建设性和成果的活动，来自不同国家的与会者分享了良好的做法，以相互学习和制定下一步的步骤。

This article examines the website Vocabulous, an innovative resource that combines Classics and English literacy. The aim of Vocabulous is to improve students' English vocabulary knowledge and skills using Latin and Greek root patterns. For example, the root ‘scrip’ meaning ‘write’ can help students understand that ‘inscription’, ‘manuscript’ and ‘transcription’ are all related to writing. Students use these roots to work out the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary, so that by the end of the programme, they have the skills they need to decipher new words on their own. As Alex Quigley notes, ‘over 90% of the vocabulary of academic texts in school has Latin and Greek origins and therefore teaching etymology has positive implications for learning and cracking the academic code of school’ (Quigley, 2018: 71). This article discusses the pedagogy behind the site, the selection of Latin and Greek roots, the design of the questions (based on vocabulary acquisition research) and the use of animated videos to engage students. The article concludes by outlining the current Vocabulous trial with 10–13-year-olds in 50 schools across the UK, combining teacher testimonies with ideas for practical application in the classroom1. Vocabulous is funded by The SHINE Trust and is part of a research trial led by Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson and Christ Church, Oxford. It will be available for school subscriptions from September 2023.

This article describes some of the main features of classical languages and history learning at the primary school level in England at the current time. It briefly examines the context and education policy background and government and teachers' beliefs in the value and status of classical subjects, especially the Latin language as an aid to learning other languages and as a support for developing and improving students' English literacy. There is some overlap with the literature review co-authored by Holmes-Henderson and Kelly for the British government (Holmes-Henderson and Kelly, 2022) and a recent piece by myself about provision of teaching and resources in the Bulletin of the Council of University Classics Departments (Hunt, 2022a). I hope to develop further some of these ideas and draw out some discussions about resources, pedagogy and learning aims for possible future directions of classical languages learning at the primary level.
本文描述了当前英国小学古典语言和历史学习的一些主要特点。它简要地考察了背景和教育政策背景以及政府和教师对古典学科的价值和地位的信念，特别是拉丁语作为学习其他语言的辅助和作为发展和提高学生英语素养的支持。这与Holmes-Henderson和Kelly共同为英国政府撰写的文献综述(Holmes-Henderson和Kelly, 2022)和我最近在《大学古典学系理事会公报》(Bulletin of the Council of University Classics department, Hunt, 2022a)上发表的一篇关于教学和资源提供的文章有一些重叠。我希望进一步发展这些想法，并对小学阶段古典语言学习的资源、教学法和学习目标进行一些讨论。

This article is by way of a request to experts who wish to make their expertise accessible to the non-expert. Non omnia possumus omnes, as Virgil said. In this case the deficiency is the lack of familiarity with papyrology and its conventions, in particular the papyri discovered in the library of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. The article shows how expertise can hinder rather than help the understanding of information needed for the processing of crucial data by the non-expert.
