入門ラテン語の解き明かし: 第 2 学期

In this twelve-week course, students will begin to explore the language and culture of Ancient Rome. We will meet bi-weekly for one hour of instruction. Contingent upon interest this term, I may continue next semester, as well, to further the students along this pathway we started together. 

The course will be structured around grammar exercises that allow students to read authentic, ancient texts as early as possible. I will emphasize along the way the linguistic roots of Latin terms for modern English, as well, to stress Latin's modern relevance. 

The primary text will be Wheelock's Latin, though I have a plethora of ancillary materials from which to draw in order to enhance the learning experience for maximum engagement.  All lessons will also be supplemented with cultural anecdotes regarding Ancient Rome to better place the language in its appropriate context.

Pacing will be ultimately contingent upon student needs and interest. Depth of understanding and language mastery are the goal of this course continuation. 

My teaching style is highly interactive, warm, and engaging. Students will only feel brave enough to try their language skills when they know they are in a safe space. I am looking forward to continuing to explore this fascinating topic together.
