Course programme

We will continue studying the rudiments of the Latin language by using the new edition of the Reading Latin, a textbook designed for adult learners based on original Latin sources. Reading of Latin passages from Plautus’ plays will be combined with exercises on grammatical points.

This class will follow the traditional approach but will involve a high level of student interaction with pair and group work. Students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities and to do approx. 2 hours' homework per week.
