AD 1270s to the 1350s across western Eurasia.1 From the AD 1270s, the favourable climate regime known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly sputtered to an end, and a colder, more variable climate arrived. Subsistence crises became more common. Animal panzootics devastated livestock herds on a continental scale. And then, upon a fragile society fell the worst biological disaster in recorded history, the Black Death. Detailed, critical work has tended only to confirm or even revise upwards the worst mortality estimates. The first wave of the pandemic might have killed ca. 50% of the entire population of Europe.2 The environmental crisis established a new economic, demographic, and geopolitical equilibrium across the old world. Given that Late Antiquity was also a period of major change in the global climate, and suffered from the introduction of the same biological agent that caused the Black Death, Campbell’s study is provocative for those of us who labour in the fields of the 1st millennium.3 We can only envy the much thicker documentary record of the Late Middle Ages, but what lessons might be drawn from the parallels and differences between these dynamic periods of environmental history? I would highlight just three points here. First, Campbell’s account is enriched because it takes a long perspective, launching centuries before the crisis. During the ‘efflorescence’ of the High Middle Ages, from ca. AD 1000–1270, the environment was an ‘enabling’ force, enhancing agrarian productivity and facilitating demographic increase. So, too, the period of Late Antiquity followed a long phase of intensification, against the background of a favourable climate in the early Roman empire. Below, I will suggest that the middle of the 2nd c. AD marked a point of inflection; not the onset of an irreversible crisis quite as dramatic","PeriodicalId":432040,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Society in the Long Late Antiquity","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115221545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is a much-needed \u0000pedagogical tool for equipping postgraduate researchers with the necessary skill of reading \u0000academic literature in a foreign language. The aim is to enable learners who frequently have \u0000no prior knowledge of the language in a short period of time to independently read texts \u0000specific to their research. \u0000This article aims to illustrate the challenges of developing face-to-face as well as online courses \u0000for the specific purpose of teaching reading skills in German and other languages to \u0000postgraduate students at Durham University and to discuss the underlying pedagogy thereof. \u0000After giving a short history of how these courses were set up at Durham University, we will \u0000state the aims and intended learning outcomes of a reading skills course and describe the \u0000pedagogical peculiarities and challenges that such courses entail, underpinned by educational \u0000theory. We will discuss the issue of vocabulary acquisition, offering practical solutions, and \u0000give concrete examples of the materials used, including online resources and materials \u0000specifically created by the tutors, as well as pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the \u0000German textbooks currently available. We will share our experience in the classroom, with \u0000online teaching as well as our provision for self-study. At the end of the paper we will include \u0000links to some free online resources for primarily German and French. \u0000This paper aims to contribute to the continuing dissemination of good practice in the teaching of \u0000reading skills in German, which can also be transferred to other Western European languages.","PeriodicalId":432040,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Society in the Long Late Antiquity","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124009530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
