To celebrate the fifth edition of the UK and International version of the Cambridge Latin Course, this series explores the history of the textbook and looks towards to its future. Featuring reflection pieces from our teaching community and interviews with some of the writers, friends and Directors who have shaped it, we reflect on why the CLC has been so unique and well-loved to date. The series will also be the place to learn about where the Cambridge Latin Course goes from here, from the research that shaped its approach to representation and diversity, to the new language features, characters, storylines and scholarship you will meet in its pages.
