Overview

This course continues from CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1.

Pre/co-requisites

Pre-requisite units

At least 50% scored in the course unit CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1. Students who, previous to starting CAHE70171, had achieved a qualification in Latin higher than GCSE (for example, AS-level, Scottish Higher, International Baccalaureate), are expected to have audited CAHE70171 and may now take CAHE70182 Intensive Latin 2 for credit.

 

Aims

To complete the study of Latin grammar and syntax begun in CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1; to reach the stage where students can read Latin texts unaided.

Teaching and learning methods

2 x 1 hour lectures per week; 

2 x 1 hour seminars per week; 

1 dedicated consultation hour per week; 

Canvas:  extensive course material, blended learning materials, and information.   

 

Lectures introduce new grammatical material which will then be further explained and reinforced in the highly interactive seminars.

Formal written homework is set each week and individually marked. This is a crucial part of the teaching and learning process. 

Also on Canvas is a self-training programme, which consists of a large bank of quizzes, graded by level, on vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. Students are expected to make extensive use of these materials, in order to help them to learn the large amount of new material that they will meet during the course. The programme gives immediate feedback, including scores, correct answers, and, in the case of more complex questions, explanations. 

Knowledge and understanding

By the end of this course students will have developed the following abilities:

  • consolidation of the material of CAHE70171;
  • completion of the student’s introduction to the essentials of Latin syntax and vocabulary, with further development of active and passive competence in the Latin language;
  • enhanced reading knowledge of the language to a point at which students can begin to read unmodified Latin texts with accuracy, confidence, and enjoyment.

Intellectual skills

By the end of this course students will have developed the following abilities:

as for CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1, but at a more advanced level of language-awareness.

Practical skills

By the end of this course students will have developed the following abilities (see below for specific skills)

Transferable skills and personal qualities

By the end of this course students will have developed the following abilities:

as for CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1, but at a more advanced level of language-awareness.

Employability skills

Other
The course supports the development of a large number of important employment skills, most notably the ability to understand, commit to memory, and successfully deploy the elements of a complex communication system. Conscientious study of an ancient language enhances understanding of English grammatical structures and broadens vocabulary, thereby enhancing the ability to communicate clearly, concisely and eloquently. Students of ancient languages also learn how to extract key elements from complex information and to identify, make sense of, and solve associated problems.

Assessment methods

Mid-term test (this will be a mixture of timed Blackboard tests and a shorter translation paper) 40%
Exam 60%

 

Feedback methods

  • Weekly feedback on formative homework exercises;
  • Written feedback on formative and summative assessment (see above);
  • Automated feedback through online quizzes
  • Additional one-to-one feedback (during the consultation hour or by making an appointment).

Recommended reading

The most important preparation is thorough revision of everything learned in CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1.

 

At this stage, a good Latin-English/English-Latin dictionary will also be useful, although it is not essential.
