What is the course about?

The course is designed to introduce you to the Latin language or remind you what you have learned before, revising and building on your basic knowledge.

What will we cover?

Based on chapter 3 and up to mid-4 of Latin to GCSE Part 1 by Cullen & Taylor (see below). You will learn the imperfect and perfect tenses and you will practice the use of more cases and groups of adjectives.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

  • Translate and compose simple Latin sentences using the imperfect and perfect tenses.
  • Use a wider range of adjectives, ensuring correct agreement with nouns in gender, number, and case.
  • Identify and use the imperative mood and the vocative case
  • Give some information about the legendary foundation of Rome

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

The course is designed for students who have completed Latin 1 module 1 at City Lit or have studied Latin for one term. 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 grammar instructions, grammar exercises and translation with a high level of student interaction (individual, pair and group work). Students are expected to do the homework regularly, check the material uploaded on Google Classroom and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 1-2 hours per week.
Here are some common answers to questions about Google Classroom.

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

The textbook will be Latin to GCSE: Part 1, by H. Cullen and J. Taylor, Bloomsbury: 2016 (ISBN 9781780934402).
If you join this class in this module, we recommend you purchase the book after the first session of the course, after you’ve ascertained that the class is suitable for you.

When I've finished, what course can I do next?

Latin 1: module 3

Judith Rice

Judith has been teaching Classics (and other subjects) to both adults and children for over 10 years, and before that worked as a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, as a journalist, and in charities. She has taught at the Open University, Royal Holloway, and Birkbeck and is currently Head of Classics at a school in North London, and finds the similarities and difference sbetween adult and school education both challenging and fascinating. Having returned to formal education as a mature student herself, to pursue postgraduate work in Greek cultural and intellectual history, she has a strong commitment to continuing education. She has degrees from Oxford University and Royal Holloway, University of London and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Judith's love of ancient language, literature, philosophy, and archaeology arises from an overridng interest in ideas, and in the ways that we can learn about how people have thought in different times and places.
