The great success of all the potential of new technologies: the effectiveness of a total, solid, and secure immersion in Latin language, combined with the convenience of live remote learning, accessible from anywhere and freely reviewable through recordings.

Overview
Admission
Admission is free and no prior knowledge is requested.
Objectives
- Understanding of a Latin text, even of high difficulty, without using the dictionary
- In-depth knowledge of the most important structures of Latin syntax and grammar
- Knowledge of the 1600 most frequent words in Latin Classical literature
- Ability to write and speak in Latin
Program
Through the reading of texts in Latin, which are designed to encourage language learning, students deal with literary Classical Latin morphology, syntax and phraseology. Lessons will be held completely in Latin: following the fundamentals of the inductive-contextual methodology, the active use of Latin language both by the students and the teacher turns passive learning into an active competence, thus ensuring a sound knowledge of the language. Readings of some original Latin texts complete the course program.
The course will be held in live streaming: students will enter the virtual classroom through a link given by the IISC. Lessons in streaming will be recorded and they will stay available for the students to see for a week.
