Abstracts:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the existing models of Latin certification. For this purpose, three currently known testing systems were chosen: the American National Latin Exam (NLE), the European Latin Exam (ELEX) conducted by the European Association Euroclassica and the European Latin Linguistic Assessment (EULALIA), which was organized by the University of Bologna within the framework of the European Union Erasmus+ programme. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of a common certification system in Latin for Russian-speaking learners and due to the question of the expediency and effectiveness of language certification in relation to classical dead languages. The article analyses and compares the history of the creation of the examinations, their philosophy, format, goals, objectives and content. The novelty lies in the systematic comparative study of international examinations as a stage in the history of classical education. As a result of the study, the history of the emergence and development of Latin language testing has been constructed. It turned out that the existing examinations have a common tendency: borrowing models of assessment of proficiency in living languages for the classical language. This approach can only be partially realized as Latin has its own unique set of core competencies to master. International Latin language certification is a movement that is comprehensively influencing approaches to Latin language teaching.
