Whilst the ‘reform’ part of the ARLT refers to the efforts of founder W.H.D.Rouse to change the nature of Latin teaching, he also produced Direct Method materials on the teaching of Greek such as ‘A Greek Boy at Home’ and his ‘First Greek Course’. Revised versions of these two volumes are being produced by Anne Mahoney at Tufts University and are to be published by Focus —

Readers may wish to know that the new “First Greek Course” is now out. It’s not so much a revision of Rouse’s work as a new book following the general organization of his text, but adapted to the modern classroom and to modern ideas of Greek linguistics. All the readings from Rouse’s original are still there, and I have added considerably more besides.
