More from Dr. Bottone:
“I have taught both modern and classical languages for many years, and I have always noticed how commercial textbooks can cause unnecessary stress to our students. Their teaching methods are often obsolete and even when they contain references to, or comparisons with, today’s art/language to bridge with young students, such comparisons and references sound already old and have an opposite effect on students.
Commercial books also do not consider the unique aspects of a class. They are designed for an average student, who is majoring in Classics. But in our intro courses at UTSA, we have an exceptionally higher number of students with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, needs and interests.”
