Peter Sipes<\/a>, benevolus\u00a0amicus noster apud\u00a0Google+,\u00a0has kindly made available a Google spreadsheet<\/a> of the DCC Latin Core Vocabulary<\/a>. Check it out, and download it. He uses it for those occasions when he is working without an internet connection. I wonder what he is doing<\/em> with the list? Perhaps a guest blog post is in order. Peter?<\/p>\n

The core vocabularies have been on my back burner while I have been finishing up a book project of the dead tree variety while on leave from Dickinson for the fall ’12 semester. But I hope to return very soon to consideration of the semantic groupings<\/a> in particular. My Dickinson colleague Meghan Reedy pointed out some flaws in the groupings on the Latin side, and we need to get that sorted before she and I move forward on our grand project: a poster that will visually represent the core according to its associated LASLA <\/a>data, expressing visually each lemma’s frequency, semantic group, and relative commonness in poetry and prose.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, if you will be at the meetings of the (soon-to-be-renamed) American Philological Association in Seattle, please stop by the Greek pedagogy session and hear my fifteen minute talk about a way to use the DCC Greek core vocabulary in an intermediate sequence based around sight reading and comprehension, as opposed to the traditional prepared translation method.<\/p>\n

Here is the whole line-up:<\/p>\n

Friday January 4,\u00a08:30 AM – 11:00 AM Washington State Convention Center Room 604<\/p>\n

NEW ADVENTURES IN GREEK PEDAGOGY
\nWilfred E. Major, Louisiana State University, Organizer
\nThe papers on this panel each offer guidance and new directions for teaching beginning and intermediate Greek. First is a report on the 2012 College Greek Exam. Following are a new way to teach Greek accents, and a new way to sequence declensions, tenses and conjugations in beginning classes. Then we get a look at a reader in development that makes authentic ancient texts accessible to beginning students, and finally a way to make sight reading the standard method of reading in intermediate Greek classes.<\/p>\n
