Little Nyssa Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Dear ladies, some of you might recall that via the local PTA I took charge of promoting foreign language education at our local public school... It turns out that tomorrow is the day I will meet with the principal-- among other things, I am wanting to recommend a course in Latin-- can anyone direct me to research about the benefits of Latin? I can make a good case, but I will need to back it up with data. I have found a lot online, but none with attributions that I can really cite. Does anyone know of any academic references I can give him to back up my case? Thanks!!! -- Semper Idem, L. Nyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Wisc Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I finally found the link I was looking for: http://salvetediscipuli.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/latin-improves-verbal-sat-scores/ I found these while looking for the one above: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=foreign%20language%20study%20and%20act%20scores&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CEcQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phoenixworks.org%2FNCWLSG%2FOlsen.doc&ei=_P6ETumqHoLkiALs5uWZDA&usg=AFQjCNEHQpMmh8wem9XWUglrdGig5ZAKsg&sig2=b4YcoYyz0jPJ02mPXWLeig&cad=rja http://whsnyderjr.blogspot.com/2011/05/latin-and-sat.html http://www.bolchazy.com/pr/prarteslatinae.html HTH, Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 This was the one that came to mind for me, but it doesn't have figures to back up its arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
