Students begin acquiring reading and oral skills in Latin as well as strengthening their English reading and vocabulary skills through vocabulary building and analyzing sentence structure. Through the reading selections and class discussions, students learn about the daily lives of the Romans and make comparisons relevant to today’s society. Students will use Latin orally to initiate and respond to simple statements and commands as well as read Latin aloud. Elementary writing tasks also build a bridge to understanding the written word. Students successfully completing this course can expect to move from Beginner to Novice-Low on the ACTFL interpretive proficiency scale.
