Pre- and Posttest of a Study on Latin Vocabulary Acquisition with Beginners (Textbook)

  • 1. Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Description

Here, the test materials are released that were used in a third intervention study conducted over a period of one school year (2018-2019) in two 5th grades of a high-school in Berlin, Germany. The aim of this study was to evaluate how students respond to context-based vocabulary learning in Latin classes and whether they learn to transfer their language knowledge to other contexts.

A key question of the still ongoing research project is: How can vocabulary competence in a historical language such as Latin be acquired and deepened by using corpus-based, i.e. context-based, methods? This question is based on a broad understanding of vocabulary that refers back to theories of the mental lexicon.

Note: The English version offers just a translation of the work assignments. Since the reference language of the test is German both the text and all examples are not translated to keep the document as authentic as possible.
