Latin 2
After starting, it is even more rewarding to continue the journey toward the summit! The course is a unique opportunity to overcome the intimidation of literary Latin: through advanced studies and the richness of the skills acquired, texts open up to a lively and profound understanding—a crucial step towards fluent reading of literature!
Overview
Admission
The course is the second year of the School of Higher Studies in Latin.
A sound and excellent knowledge of Latin Language is required. The course may be attended by:
those who have attended at least the 75% of the course Latin 1, Latin 1 Online, Latinitas Viva 1 or Latin 1 – Telematic;
those who, having sound knowledge of Latin, might be able to pass the exam Latin 1 even without having attended classes.
Objectives:
- Understanding of any Latin text, prose and poems, even of high difficulty, without using the dictionary
- In-depth knowledge of all the Latin grammar and classical literary style
- Knowledge of the 3500 most frequent words in Latin classical literature
- Ability to write and speak in Latin
- Understanding of the basic techniques for teaching a lesson of Latin language through the inductive-contextual methodology.
Program
Students will read the textbook Roma Aeterna and many excerpts of Classical authors, specifically Virgil and Titus Livius.
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.
The course will be held in classroom. Upon request at the moment of the enrollment, the course may be also attended online. The IISC will provide students a link to access the virtual classroom and attend the course via live streaming. Lessons in streaming will be recorded and they will stay available for the students to see for a week.
