Description

Teaching Delivery: This module is taught in 20 bi-weekly lectures and 30 tri-weekly seminar groups.

Content: An introduction to the classical Latin language, including the study of grammar, principles of sentence construction and the reading of selected texts. The module aims to provide students with a knowledge of classical Latin language and principles of sentence construction sufficient to translate simple passages of Latin prose into English and simple English phrases and sentences into Latin. Two classes per week will be split into three small groups, each group taught by a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant.

Skills: Students should be trained in translating Latin texts into English and English sentences into Latin, learning vocabulary and studying Latin grammar and syntax. By the end of the module, students are expected to have reached a level approximately equivalent to the end of chapter 74 of Learn to Read Latin Book.
