This module introduces Latin to students who have not necessarily studied a foreign language before. With the help of standard terms for classifying and analysing linguistic features, the module shows how words in Latin change their shape (morphology) and how sentences are assembled from them (syntax). Practice sentences and passages build up students’ knowledge step-by-step, enabling the translation of Latin of increasing literary and linguistic sophistication. Students are expected to memorise Latin words and build their vocabulary. The module also aims to begin the process of learning about Roman history and culture via engagement with concepts and words in the original language. The textbook used is anticipated to be S.C. Shelmerdine, Introduction to Latin.
