Course outline

What is the course about?

The course aims to improve your fluency in reading Latin and to help you gain a greater knowledge of the structures of Latin grammar.

What topics will we cover?

We shall be using the textbook Reading Latin (2 vols) starting around section 4E/F, reading an adaptation of Cicero's In Verrem and Sallust's Catiline - check with the tutor through the Languages Department for the exact point to start at. Reading will be combined with grammar instruction and exercises on grammatical constructions, eg. use of the subjunctive etc.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

-demonstrate knowledge of the use of the subjunctive

-demonstrate knowledge of participles.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You should have studied Latin for about two years or have an equivalent knowledge of the language. As this course is taught in English, you should be able to follow verbal and written instructions in English and also take part in class and group discussions on readings. Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support with your English skills to help you take part fully in this class.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Whole class work. Translation, grammar instruction, grammatical exercises. Homework - about 2 hours per week.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

How will I be able to give my views on the course?
