Who revived Latin learning?

Latin learning was never revived--it never stopped being taught. For a brief history, throughout the Roman Empire, Latin was spoken in all of the empire as a trade language. After the empire's fall, Latin remained the language for trade (although that was phased out eventually) and for education. Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Latin was the language of the educated--one of the main ideas of the Renaissance was the rise of local languages and the use of these instead of Latin for literature. So it was during the Renaissance that Latin stopped being the language for literature, although it continued on as the language of the sciences (very broadly speaking) and religion (where it continues today in the Catholic church). Only in the mid-20th century did it stop being standard for all students beyond elementary school to learn Latin, and Latin is still taught at a high school level (and middle school, in some countries).

What is the Second Language Acquisition research?

It is the study of how people learn a language which is not their native tongue. For example my native language is English, but my second language is French as i studied it from the age of ten, before i studied any other foreign languages. When researching how people learn a new language - be it in school, listening to radio or watching TV in that target language or by going to a foreign country and immersing yourself in that language, that is second language acquisition research.

How does your school currently assess language proficiency and how does it use the results?

I live and teach in CA. All schools in the state give students language proficiency testing when they enter school. The students are then identified on a scale from non-english to proficient. The students are then placed in classrooms where the teacher has been trained in language acquisition ( CLAD or SAIDE teachers) and the class everyday gets 30 minutes of language acquisition activities. Depending on the school, some children go to a different classroom, some get individual instruction from a specialized teacher, and some use different textbooks. Yet, when state testing happens ALL students are given the same test in English and not given special help.


How languages are learned?
