Latin 1
The ability to understand Latin enables direct access to a wealth of primary source material across a vast chronological span, from the ancient world to the early modern period, on subjects ranging from history and literature to philosophy and science. ‘Latin I’ will equip you with the ability to comprehend basic Latin, while acquiring a useful range of common vocabulary and practising the rudiments of Latin syntax and grammar. By the end of the module, you will be able to translate simple passages from Latin to English, and to apply your knowledge of the language to draw conclusions about the structure and purpose of a text. All linguistic content is introduced with accompanying discussion of the literary and/or societal contexts in which it was used. -

Latin 2
‘Latin 2’ is designed to build on the knowledge acquired by students who have taken ‘Latin 1’, but may also be appropriate for those with some previous alternative experience (e.g. a GCSE). The module will equip you with the ability to read, comprehend, and translate basic Latin with increased speed and fluency. You will also expand your knowledge of Latin vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, thereby developing the skills necessary to tackle more complex texts. As well as thinking about best practice when translating (from Latin to English and vice versa), you will start to express your own ideas by producing creative compositions in (classical) Latin. By the end of the module, you will have been introduced to the works of multiple important Roman authors, such as Caesar, Nepos, and Vergil. We shall read and discuss suitable extracts of original texts, in the process of which you will learn critical linguistic and analytic skills that can be applied to the sources you are studying in other modules.

Latin Language Stage 1A
The aim of every language course at the University is to enable you to communicate in your target language (TL) at that particular level and in your particular area of interest. We use the word ‘communicate’ in its widest sense, meaning that you will not only be able to talk to people in the language but also to develop your proficiency in listening, reading, and writing. This means that the module aims for you to understand all the things which affect communication in that language, including knowledge of how the language is used, how it works and how to analyse it, and the cultural contexts in which it is spoken.
