Autumn Term 2022

 

Overview

A fun, fast-paced and supportive 5-week introduction to Latin based on the current GCSE language component (OCR). This course will provide a great foundation for students interested in learning Latin alongside their main studies, building the tools for self-study and gaining an insight into the language, mythology and history of ancient Rome.

​

How will I be taught?

Our teaching approach is informal, engaging and learner-centered. Your tutor will facilitate learning via setting pre-class activities (e.g. translations, vocabulary learning or reading) that will be discussed and built upon in lesson time. Lessons will be held using Zoom Meetings for 6+ students and student interaction is encouraged via questioning; corrections; translations; polls and quizzes. Alternatively, lessons will be recorded and made available on-demand in a self-paced format each week.

​

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Translate basic Latin sentences with confidence, including famous phrases!

• Understand the key principles behind Latin grammar, syntax and vocabulary in order to read a simple story. 

• Translate simple English into Latin sentences (prose composition).

• Understand which vocabulary learning techniques work best for you.  

• Use the tools provided to continue with self-study of Latin up to a higher level and/or qualification.
