Meeting Description:

Our knowledge and understanding of ancient cultures rely almost exclusively on
written documents; equally, we can fully comprehend even modern cultures only
with sufficient command of their language(s). For this and many other reasons,
the teaching of modern and ancient languages is a fundamental and necessary
endeavour, and a worthwhile subject of study and debate.

The teaching of ancient, medieval, and pre-modern languages at
university-level is frequently undertaken by colleagues from all
sub-disciplines with varying degrees of training in language pedagogy.
Equally, not all pedagogically trained teachers of modern languages or native
speakers are familiar to the same extent with the history of the language they
teach and speak. 

Under the auspices of the Deutscher Orientalistentag (https://dot2022.de), we
wish to bring together teachers of Asian languages from all time periods. Our
goal is to provide a forum in which new and innovative solutions to well-known
problems of teaching Asian languages can be discussed, practical as well as
theoretical issues be analysed, and different experiences be compared. We hope
that all participants will profit from the presentations and ensuing
discussions by taking away ideas which may be implemented in their teaching
practice.

What follows represents a list of sample questions, which could be addressed;
other ideas are very welcome:
- Which methodological approaches used in teaching spoken languages could be
adapted for use in languages no longer spoken?
- How can we most effectively introduce students familiar with an ancient
language to its modern daughter language – and vice versa?
- In what way can we actively use phylogenetic relationships to teach students
with knowledge of one language a closely related one?
- How can we use knowledge of Latin or Greek which students retain from school
in order to teach them other (ancient) Indo-European languages?
- What is the best way of teaching students languages which differ
fundamentally in their structure from the student’s mother tongue(s)?
- What technological advances and research projects are there which might be
of interest for language teachers?


Call for Papers:

Papers may be delivered in German or English, and we plan to make
presentations via Zoom available for those unable to attend the DOT in person.

We invite abstracts of no more than 250 words for 20-minute presentations
(followed by 10 minutes of discussion). The deadline is 23h59 CET on November
30, 2021. Please send your abstracts in pdf-format to antonia.ruppel at lmu.de.
We will inform those whose proposals were accepted by mid-December, so that
they have time to sign up for the DOT at the early-bird rate.
