What is the course about?
This course is designed to extend your fluency in reading and translating Latin sentences and to give you a greater knowledge of grammatical structures. We will use Reading Latin, by Peter Jones and Keith Sidwell (2 volumes), starting around section 2A.
What will we cover?
We will cover grammatical structures including:
- uses of the dative case
- future indicative
- deponent verbs
We will also continue reading an adaptation of Aulularia, a play by Plautus.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- conjugate verbs in the future indicative
- read and pronounce numbers from 0 to 100
- recognise deponent verbs in the present
- have some insights into the derivation of English words
- demonstrate some knowledge on the world of ancient Rome.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should have completed Latin 1 module 2 at City Lit or have studied Latin for approximately 6 months. As the course is taught in English, please read the 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?
The course consists of translation, grammar instructions and grammar exercises with a high level of student interaction (individual, pair and group work). Students are expected to do the homework regularly, check the resources uploaded on Google Classroom and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 1-2 hours per week.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
Bring writing material.
