Latin Language and Literature: Aims and Objectives

Aims

The aims of the course are to finish learning the structures of the language and to read some Latin by classical authors of a reasonable length. By the end of this module, students should expect to have:

  • completed an introduction to the syntax of the language;
  • developed a good working Latin vocabulary;
  • read unadapted Latin by four authors; and
  • started to develop an awareness of different literary styles.

To continue to the next level, Latin Literary Texts, the Department recommends a minimum of 70% in this module.
