The course is designed to deepen and extend your knowledge and appreciation of Latin authors in the original language.
What will we cover?
Each term we will read texts chosen by the group. As well as exploring the texts' language, style and themes, we will consider how they relate to Roman politics and culture.
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
read and translate unadapted Latin texts with confidence and enjoyment
demonstrate an extensive knowledge of the authors’ vocabulary and style
appreciate some of the themes and language used in the work
demonstrate improved knowledge of Latin grammar
demonstrate a thorough understanding of the world of ancient Rome.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should have studied Latin for at approximately 5/6 years or have an equivalent advanced knowledge. As this 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 combines whole-class discussion work with pair and group work. Depending on students’ wish, grammar instructions and exercises may also be given. Each week students will be assigned passages to prepare and translate at home prior to each class. Students are expected to do a couple of hours’ homework per week and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 2-3 hours per week.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
Texts will be confirmed before the start of the course.
