LAT 120: Readings in Imperial Latin Literature

In this Latin reading course, selections from Apuleius' Golden Ass will be read in Latin and the entire work in English.

The Golden Ass is one of the most delightful works to survive from antiquity. It's full of adventure, magic, and wonder.

This course assumes that students have had the equivalent of one year's college Latin study and grants upper-division undergraduate credit in Latin reading to be applied towards degrees and continuing education requirements.

There will be quizzes, a paper, and a final exam.

The class will meet Tu, W, and Th from August 6 to September 12.

Intensive course in Koine Greek, Level I [Thursday, June 13th to Wednesday, July 3rd 2013, 4 hours of instruction per day]

Price: $750 (tuition and administrative costs)

These courses are offered at Ave Maria University in Florida, in collaboration with the Polis Institute of Languages and Humanities in Jerusalem. The courses are taught following the Polis method. Latin is taught using Latin, and Koine Greek is taught in the medium of Koine Greek, as living languages. Either class can be taken by those studying the language for the first time.

These courses are taught through a communicative method, though careful attention is given to grammar. The first lessons are based upon TPR (Total Physical Response), which will allow the student to understand directly what is meant by listening and observation of the instructor and fellow students.

Accademia Vivarium Novum

Academiae Vivarii Novi Scholae Aestivae
Summer Latin School in Rome
8 Weeks of Intensive Courses

To get more information about this course, please visit our website:
http://vivariumnovum.net/en/ad-extra/summer-latin-school


1- The Method of Vivarium Novum: A Little History

During the 1980s a group of young classicists in Southern Italy began to gather around an old teacher and discuss the necessity of renovating the didactics of the classical languages. Young people from schools and universities from all over the world came to join them to spend years studying Latin and Greek - two languages that hardly anyone today manages to learn completely. From the discussions held during that time arose the need to analyze the course of history and the art of teaching Latin: How did the Humanists learn this language? How did Politian, Erasmus, Vives, and Comenius teach it? For this research, the students analyzed the most effective methods of modern language teaching: How was it possible that a parliamentary interpreter of Finno - Ugric languages could learn to perfectly read, write, and speak Hungarian in a relatively short period of time, but a high school student, after four or five years of study, could not comprehend even the simplest of Latin texts
 without the aid of lexica and grammars, and without having to translate it laboriously into his own language? And yet students heard four, even five hours of lessons a week, dedicating at least as much time to individual study.

The Academy Vivarium Novum has acquired a worldwide fame throughout the last decade for having studied, identified, and introduced methods of teaching Latin and Greek which may pose as a remedy to this situation. It has held international conventions concerning the topic from 1991 to the present day, with the participation of the greatest experts in the world. It has diffused in Italy and revitalized in Europe and the United States the contextual-inductive method for teaching classical languages. It has founded an international school to which students have poured in from every continent, where they acquire in a very short time a full and total command of the Latin language.

Now the Academy is placing its acquired competency from years of research and teaching at the service of those who wish to learn Latin with effective results and need to do so in a rather short period of time. The course utilizes specific teaching techniques, from induction according to the natural method to the Total Physical Response, and from "suggestopedia" to storytelling, as well as the Rassias Method. Through active use of the language - daily conversations and writing exercises - students may experience the method of teaching employed in the Humanistic schools during the Renaissance. This mixed approach, tested for years by the experts of the Academy, allows students to attain in only eight weeks the results that normally require almost three years of study.

The courses are open to students of every nationality. To be able to read Latin texts fluently is a skill that not only those who study classical literature need, but also those who study Medieval and Modern history, European literary history, law, philosophy, the history of science, theology, and liturgy.


2- Description of the modules

The classes provide for a total immersion in the Latin language. They are divided into two fundamental courses and a third course which is for teachers and which is contingent on enrollment.:

1. Latin I (from the first week to the fourth; 15 ECTS): dedicated to those who have no or hardly any previous knowledge of the Latin language. Students will learn morphology, syntax, and vocabulary (1,800 of the most frequent words), and will begin reading genuine Latin texts (the Gospels, Catullus, Martial, Phaedrus, Caesar). Duration: 156 hours.

2. Latin II (from the fifth week to the eighth; 15 ECTS): dedicated to those who have attended the first course, Latin I, or who already possess an active knowledge of the fundamental notions of Latin grammar and syntax, and who know at least the 1,600 words indicated in the lexicon of Besançon. The students will be taught to read Latin authors fluently in the original texts (Cicero, Sallustius, Livy, Horace, Seneca, Petronius, Pliny the Younger, Eutropius, Ambrogius, St. Augustine, Erasmus, and many others). Duration: 156 hours.

3. Latin III (312 hours: 156 hours during the first 4 weeks + 156 during the last 4 weeks. We will launch this course only if we reach a minimum of 20 registrations): This module is designed specifically for Latin teachers who wish to improve their didactic skills by applying a wide range of strategies in class. This strategies, developed by experts of the didactic of modern languages, facilitate the use of the inductive method in the teaching of Latin. With this approach, teachers are able to explain to young students the works of ancient, medieval and modern Latin writers. With a full immersion in the language, daily practice and Latin conversation, lessons, and other activities, even teachers with no previous experience in the active use of Latin will be able, within two months, to fluently speak, write and teach Latin. As we read the chapters of Latin authors, we will also explore the methods of language teaching used by both Renaissance and modern masters.

Class times: For each of the courses (Latin I, II and III), three lessons will be held in the morning from Monday through Saturday, and will last an hour and a half each. In the afternoon, students will devote their time to studying the material covered in class and to the completion of daily assignments. In the evening, from 7 to 9pm, students will attend a final session of the day consisting of play-curricular activities. Each week a test will be administered to ensure that students are making adequate progress. Credits will not be granted unless these tests are passed.


3- Excursions

On Sundays, both in the first and in the second month, students will make three excursions to places in Campania or in Latium during which lessons will be held and participants will visit archaeological sites including Pompeii, Cuma, Roman Forum, Via Appia, Ostia, Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli among others. The definite schedule of these trips will be announced before the beginning of the summer program. The order of these excursions may be subject to changes.


4- Costs and enrollment

In order to participate in the courses, students are required to fill out the application form and send a 10% deposit of the total program fee. This fee is required as a partial contribution to the annual expenses of the Mnemosyne Foundation. These courses, however, are non-profit; all benefits will be used to grant scholarships to the greatest amount of talented young students.

- The cost of the program is € 4.980 and covers full participation in the eight-week course (from July 24th to August 17th ), including hosting, textbooks, and excursions.
- The cost of participation in only one of the two modules is  € 2.500.
- The price of a single room is € 300 each month.

These courses are organised by the Polis Institute of Jerusalem. According to the method that we develop, each course is given in the taught language itself. The first lessons are based upon the TPR (Total Physical Response) technique, which allows the student to be actively involved in the class. Besides, through the TPR Storytelling technique the student assimilates the vocabulary in a natural way and starts speaking the foreign language right from the very beginning. Polis is one of the very few institutes in the world where dead languages are taught as a living language, according to a full immersion method.

10. Methodological Seminar for Teachers of Ancient Languages in Rome

The seminar is aimed at teachers of classical languages who want to learn the criteria for teaching Latin and Greek as living languages, through the Polis method.

The course, which includes both theoretical lectures and practical exercises, is taught by teachers specialized in teaching classical languages by the so-called natural methods. Thanks to this methodology, the teacher converts the class into a monolingual space: the taught language becomes the only language used both by the teacher and by the students.
During the course we will cover the different aspects of our methodology, such as Total Physical Response, Story Telling, assimilation of vocabulary, group interaction etc.

The course will be held in the afternoon, at the Santa-Croce University in Rome from July 15 to 19.

Course fee: 250 Euros.

Penn’s department of Classical Studies is a renowned community of scholars and students working on diverse areas of the Greco-Roman world, from language and literature to history to archaeology to reception studies. Each summer we offer a wide range of Classical Studies courses, ranging from intensive Latin and Greek to ancient Greek and Roman history, myth, and culture. Many of the courses are ideal for undergraduate and graduate students who wish to spend the summer accelerating their preparation for further study. Each of the intensive language courses covers the equivalent of one year’s coursework in six weeks, and the intermediate courses will fully prepare students for advanced courses. The other courses are suitable both for students new to the Greco-Roman world or are looking to extend their knowledge into new areas of specialization.

Penn Summer is managed by the University of Pennsylvania’s College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS). We operate on an Open Enrollment basis; all students interested in participating are welcome. There is no official application, though students will access the online application system to submit information necessary for the creation of a new student record. https://www.sas.upenn.edu/summer/summer_sessions/enroll

CUNY Latin/Greek Institute

Basic Program in Latin
Basic Program in Greek

In summer 2013 the Latin/Greek Institute will once again offer highly intensive ten-week basic programs in Latin and Greek, which cover more than four semesters of work.  All classes are team-taught, and the faculty is available 24 hours a day for help.

The Institute is a collaborative effort of Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.  Classes meet all day, five days a week at the Graduate Center in midtown Manhattan.  The courses carry 12 undergraduate credits but are also open to graduate students.

The first half of each program is devoted to intensive study of basic morphology and syntax. The second half offers students an unparalleled opportunity to see the rewards of what they have just learned through extensive close reading, at an advanced level, in original texts:  in the Latin Institute, Cicero's First Catilinarian oration complete, Vergil's Aeneid Book 4 complete, and selections from Sallust, Horace, Livy, Tacitus, and other authors; in the Greek Institute, Plato's dialogue Ion complete, extensive selections from Euripides' Medea, and selections from a variety of authors including Homer, Solon, Sappho, Lysias, Thucydides, and Isocrates.

The more than two thousand graduates of the Institute have regularly gone directly into advanced undergraduate courses or even graduate courses.

Thanks to the generosity of graduates and friends of the Institute, scholarships are available to help cover the cost of tuition.  We are especially grateful for the support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, through which we offer merit scholarships each summer to graduate students in art history.

Silver Age Survey (LAT 626 -- 3 credit hours)
July 5 – 25, 2013
Prof. Hugh Parker

One of the most appealing things about the Latin literature of the Silver Age (c. 14 - c. 125) is that many of its authors give vivid pictures of Roman life during that period. Two authors who are especially good at this are Pliny the Younger and Martial. The course has three goals:

1. to introduce students to two important authors of the Latin literature that followed the Augustan Age,
2. to introduce to teachers to ways that Silver Latin can be integrated into their own classrooms (Silver Age literature is full of interesting and adaptable passages about Roman daily life),
3. and, of course, to improve everyone’s Latin. To this end we will read a variety of Pliny’s letters and Martial’s epigrams.

This all-online class will mostly be asynchronous, but there will be an hour of meeting online on most days. These meetings will take place at some point between 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

This is a graduate level course in our online M.Ed. in Latin curriculum, but it is also open to non-degree students with a B.A. or equivalent in Latin.

Calder Classics

Latin and Art History for High School Students

Calder Classics runs 2 summer sessions in Florence designed for high school students who want further exposure to Latin and Art History. In a residential “salon” style environment, this small, select group of Latin students will be reading and discussing Latin literature every day. Together we will delve into some of the most influential ancient Roman authors including Livy, Vergil, Ovid and Petronius. We will then explore the piazzas and museums of Florence and nearby Tuscan towns, where we will study and visit artistic representations that complement our readings. In the evenings we will enjoy Italy’s many visual, culinary, leisure and cultural offerings. Minimum: one year Latin reading experience.
