Lati n provides plenty of scope for discussion and sharing ideas as you develop your translation techniques and literary criticism skills. Pupils will have regular translations and consolidate their knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and syntax systematically. GCSE will have introduced most language points already and in the Sixth Form pupils will develop further understanding. Exploring the texts may involve independent research, presentations, recitation and even dramatic performance. The internet, library resources, film and art are all used to enhance your enjoyment. Pupils will find themselves discussing and exploring some surprisingly modern topics during the course. Latin is universally recognised as a rigorous academic subject, which has had a profound influence on every aspect of Western civilisation, both in the sciences and the arts. Pupils are required to develop analytical, literary and linguistic skills which are deservedly respected by employers. Lati n may be read at university as a subject in its own right, as part of a dazzling array of Classics degrees or jointly with other languages, ancient and modern.
LANGUAGE Pupils will focus on developing their translation skills so that they can tackle the reading of un-adapted texts from two important Roman authors. PROSE LITERATURE Pupils will explore the works of Roman historians, orators and political commentators. VERSE LITERATURE Pupils will delve into the works of both epic and elegiac poets. Assessment is through written examination, with 50% of the marks available for language and 50% for literature.
