Commentarii by Katarzyna Ochman
lates one of his encounters with his teacher, the Platonic philosopher Taurus, who accuses the writer of paying too much attention to the linguistic aspects of Platos dialogues. Gellius, hard-core philologist that he is, completely disregards the masters ironic criticism of his approach and offers his readers a Latin translation of a passage from Pausanias speech at Symposium 180e-181a. The paper will attempt to analyse and elucidate the literary context in which the translation is presented not only within this particular chapter, but also in a broader spectrum of the Attic Nights understood as a coherent work.
Published in "Przekładaniec", Special Issue 2013, p. 71-86.

The article presents a series of five cultural renaissances which took place in the Western World from the 3rd century BC to the 15th–16th centuries AD. One feature which all these renaissances had in common was a type of technological turn which either triggered or helped to spread renewed interest in literature. The end of the 20th century and especially the beginning of the 21st century has been witness to a major technological revolution. Some signs of literary and philological renewal can also be observed, especially in the field of classical studies. All this has led some scholars to believe that we are currently heading for the
sixth Renaissance.

Łacina umarła, niech żyje łacina? Lekcja języka łacińskiego z wykorzystaniem nowej (?) metody konwersacyjnej.
W dydaktyce języka łacińskiego w szkołach i na uczelniach nie tylko w Polsce, ale i na całym świecie, można od kilku dziesięcioleci zaobserwować stagnację wynikającą ze zmiany metod nauczania tego języka, która zaczęła zachodzić już na przełomie wieku XVIII i XIX. W ostatnich latach wobec zauważalnej niskiej skuteczności powszechnie stosowanych metod gramatyczno-tłumaczeniowych coraz większym zainteresowaniem cieszy się metoda immersyjna, zwana potocznie (choć myląco) „łaciną żywą”. Bywa ona obecnie przedstawiana jako pomysł innowacyjny, w istocie zakłada jednak powrót do naturalnych metod przyswajania języka poprzez zwielokrotnienie ekspozycji znaczącej oraz wykorzystanie zdolności wnioskowania z kontekstu.
Celem prezentacji jest zapoznanie uczestników z możliwościami, jakie daje metoda naturalna zaadaptowana do nauki języka łacińskiego. Prelegentki przedstawią krótki przykład: lekcję „łaciny po łacinie” z wykorzystaniem podręcznika H. Ørberga „Lingua Latina per se illustrata” oraz autorskich materiałów audiowizualnych. W drugiej części wystąpienia zaprezentowane techniki dydaktyczne zostaną osadzone w kontekście przeszło dwóch tysięcy lat historii nauczania języka łacińskiego jako obcego.
