DESCRIPTION Study-unit Content:

In order "to teach the easy before the difficult", the Latin readings start with simple sentences to adapted continuous prose to provide a progressive course, taking into consideration the standard reached in grammar. The obvious advantage of this progressive method is that students can be introduced to, or can revise, the main constructions one at a time. Handouts of such readings are to be provided by the lecturer and/or J.A.C.T. Latin Course, comprising grammar, reading, composition and vocabulary.

Reading List:

- Jones, P. V. and Sidwell, K. C. (1986) Latin course: reading Latin - grammar, vocabulary and exercises. Cambridge University Press.
