Summary/Abstract: The new teaching methodologies within the European Space for Higher Education recommend the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in learning activities. Nevertheless, the recent pedagogical studies on this issue have shown that these new tendencies are not applied widely in classical philology, basically, because of the instructors’ theoretical academic background and the tradition of their departments. The aim of this paper is to describe the utility of ICT for the classical languages (ancient Greek and Latin) and to analyze the academic profile of these instructors, in order to help the decision makers understand the idiosyncrasy of these studies and realize what is needed for their successful inclusion in the innovative projects.
