Latin Institute -- Summer 2008

Block A (June 9-27) –
Intermediate Latin Prose Composition - 1 unit
An intensive course designed for teachers and students who are in need of a general refresher course or who are approaching Roman authors in Latin for the first time. Class time will be dedicated to review of more complex Latin constructions, prose composition, and translation.  This course varies in content from year to year and may be taken more than once.  This summer's course focuses on two great Roman writers, Caesar and Cicero. Readings will center around the figure of Cicero's brother, Quintus, depicted in Caesar's 'Gallic Wars' as a heroic lieutenant and as a notorious governor and contentious husband in Cicero's letters.
Instructor – Alison Orlebeke

Colloquium (The final 2 weeks of block A) .50 units –
Latin Teaching Methodology*
Instructor – Richard Beaton

Block B (June 30-July 18) -
Vergil
In this intensive Latin reading course, we read extended selections from Vergil’s three canonical works, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid.  Although our primary purpose is improving reading fluency and speed in Vergilian Latin, we will also discuss literary, historical, and grammatical topics that arise.  If you already have editions of these works, please bring them. 
Instructor: Kendrick

Block C (July 21 – August 8) –
The Romans* (in English) - 1 unit
The Romans
Focus on Republican and Augustan Rome.  In 31 BC, Octavian, the sole heir to Julius Caesar, defeated Mark Anthony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium.  This was the final battle in a civil struggle that left him as the sole ruler of an immense European and Mediterranean Empire whose government had been based on a total rejection of one-man rule.  This course is an investigation into how the Roman Republic (509-31 BC), marked by violence and periods of dictatorship in its last 100 years, is reconciled in the early years of Augustus’ Principate.  Selections from Republican and Augustan literature from 50 BC to 14 AD to be read in English.
Instructor – FitzGibbon

Colloquium (Throughout block C) –
Catullus .5 units – Selections from the 1st C BC poet to be read in Latin with the intent of keeping up on and improving Latin reading skills.

Intermediate courses: June 23rd through August 1st.

All classes are intensive and meet five days per week, morning and afternoon. Participation takes a full-time commitment on the part of faculty and students alike. We strongly recommend that students find housing in Hyde Park (the neighborhood in which the University is located) for the duration of their summer program.

The beginning courses spend at least the last four weeks on original texts; the intermediate courses focus on prose and include intensive grammar review, including prose composition.

First-year Greek students, especially: please bring a laptop along, if you have one, preferably equipped with wireless internet. LEARN the alphabet before you come, please.

Two-thirds of our classes are faculty-taught.

Mental and physical health note: Both for-credit and audit participants will gain full access to facilities such as the Regenstein library and the brand-new gym, with Olympic-size pool.

Financial health note: If you do not require academic credit, but 'just' want to learn Greek or Latin, consider the auditing option offered on the Graham School website. This is a substantial savings, and faculty will not treat auditors any differently from for-credit participants. NOTE: 2008 may be the last year in which an audit option is available.

Basic Program in Latin
Basic Program in Greek
Upper Level Program in Latin

The Latin/Greek Institute of The City University of New York is a collaborative effort of the City University Graduate Center and Brooklyn College. The Institute offers intensive, total-immersion programs in ancient languages during the summer that enable serious, highly motivated high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to cover the material normally included in several semesters of conventional work in a single summer. All programs are team-taught by experienced instructors. In addition to being intensive, the programs are unique in that they provide 24-hour availability of faculty to assist students by phone in the preparation of assignments, hourly rotation of staff to provide for exposure to a variety of approaches, and a low student-faculty ratio.

The basic programs of the Latin/Greek Institute enable students with no previous training in either language to cover the material normally included in four to six semesters of college-level Latin or Greek in ten weeks of instruction and, upon completing the program, to enroll in senior undergraduate reading courses.

In summer 2005 the Upper Level Program in Latin will be offered in addition to the basic programs in Latin and Greek.

Please see our web site for details.

University of Virginia

In the summer of 2004 the Department of Classics at the University of Virginia will again offer Latin as one of the University's Summer Language Institutes. The Latin Institute will run from June 14 through August 13; it is a highly intensive program that will prepare diligent students to enter intermediate to advanced college-level courses after successful completion. No previous knowledge of Latin is required for participation. Students can earn 12 credit hours from UVa or choose a non-credit option, which reduces tuition for graduate students or non-Virginia residents. The Summer Latin Institute represents an excellent opportunity for motivated students to achieve rapid proficiency in Latin.

The deadline for applications is APRIL 15th; late applications, however, will still be considered, space permitting.

Latin 3100: Reading Latin Prose. Provides a transition for students who have had one year of the language but want more practice reading before moving on to intermediate Latin, or for students who have had studied Latin in the past and wish to begin studying it again. The emphasis will be on reading passages of unadapted Latin prose, both prepared and at sight, as well as review of basic grammar and vocabulary from the second half of Wheelock's Latin.
[5/24-6/11, M-F, 11:15-2:15, 3 credits]

Classics 1042: Greek and Roman Mythology. Intensive myth boot camp, with films and field trips as well as slides,great reading, and small group work to introduce students to the highlights of Greek and Roman mythology.
[5/24-6/11, M-F, 9:05-1:10, 4 credits]

Classics 1005: Ancient Rome: The Roman Revolution This course will survey the Roman world in the period from the death of Julius Caesar to just after the death of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, over half a century later. Few epochs have seen so interesting a cast of characters: the stalwart and tragic Cicero; the calculating and assured Octavian; Cleopatra, the exotic and brilliant queen who "enslaved the two greatest Romans of her time"; Marc Antony, who, according to Shakespeare, had "superfluous kings as his messengers"; Maecenas, who supervised one of Europe's greatest flowerings of literature. And then there are the poets: the shy Vergil, whose work became the schoolbook of Europe as soon as it was published; Horace, who had once fought on the other side; Propertius, who glorified slavery to love; and Ovid, Rome's best example of urban sophistication, who was exiled to an obscure backwater, never to return. We'll trace the bloody struggle for power between the young Octavian and the aging Marc Antony. We'll consider the crises in politics and society which Octavian/Augustus sought to get under control. We'll read the works of several of Rome's greatest writers, and look at the most important monuments the period produced. Finally, we'll see what answers we can find to the big questions the period raises about the ethics of power and the worth, as well as the price, of peace.

Intensive Summer Workshop in Medieval Latin
May 28 - June 20, 2003

This course is intended primarily for graduate students or teachers in any field of medieval studies who want to be able to read medieval Latin with confidence and who require an intensive refresher course. It includes grammar (review of morphology and syntax) and reading of prose and poetry-both seen and at sight. Active knowledge of Latin is emphasized. An introduction to the methodology, bibliography, and study of medieval Latin is also provided.

Readings range widely and include the Itala and Vulgata, Jerome, Augustine, Prudentius, Ambrose, Boethius, Bede, Alcuin, Einhard, the Cambridge Songs, Anselm, Orderic Vitalis, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Abelard, John of Salisbury, the Carmina Burana, Vincent of Beauvais, Thomas Aquinas, and Salimbene. On occasion the techniques of the medieval lectio (similar to "direct method") are used to question and paraphrase the text in Latin. Basic instruction in metrics, both quantitative and rhythmical, is provided. Students are encouraged to suggest readings, particularly technical ones, that may be of use to them in the future; the course seeks to develop the active mastery of medieval Latin necessary for pursuing professional research.

Students register for Classics 369, Intensive Medieval Latin Reading, for four credits. While the course is designed for people who have had "some" Latin "some time ago," students should have a minimum of one year of college Latin or the equivalent. It is strongly recommended that students review and master their Latin morphology (all nominal and pronominal declensions and verbs) thoroughly before taking the course. A diagnostic test will be administered on the first day of class.

University of Kentucky

Attention Latinists: an intensive workshop in spoken and conversational Latin will be held for two weeks from 20 July 2001 to 30 July 2001 at the University of Kentucky. NB the information at the end about the new credit option.

These summer workshops have become internationally known for providing a stimulating occasion in which participants can live for an extended period of time in an all-Latin environment, speaking and hearing no language but Latin. Our Latin workshops are exclusively designed for those who want to cultivate the active use of Latin in speaking and conversation, such as teachers who want to develop the ability to have real, ex-tempore conversations with students. They are NOT designed for people who are still learning essential Latin grammar. All participants should be able to read Latin, and feel reasonably secure in their knowledge of basic morphology and syntax. However, previous experience in speaking Latin is NOT necessary.

The goal of our seminars is simple--to provide an opportunity for anyone interested (and with sufficent knowledge of the basics of Latin) to get at least a good start towards a spoken command of the Latin language. There are many workshops and seminars for intensive learning of all of Latin grammar, for reading Latin, for studying the works of certain authors, etc. Our goal is rather different, and doesnít conflict with any of these other programs--we simply provide guidance and a format for people to get used to using Latin as an active, spoken language. We also, unlike most programs known to us, insist on a TOTAL IMMERSION experience. Our primary activity doesnít involve reading Latin (though reading of some texts is actually part of our program), but we believe that a side effect for most people of cultivating an active use of Latin will indeed be an an ability to read texts of average level with increased speed, ease and enjoyment. A strong and instinctive ACTIVE command of any language, along with its structures and subtleties, is, in our view, qualitatively different from, and in most cases, superior to a merely passive knowledge, however sophisticated that passive understanding may be.

Sessions will be aimed exclusively at developing ability in speaking and comprehension in listening to others, and will involve intensive work from morning until early evening (with breaks for lunch, etc; of course). Themes for discussion will involve books and literature, but discussions will also be devoted to questions pertaining to everyday life. Our goal is to help all to progress towards the ability to express themselves in correct Latin on a wide range of subjects. By 'correct' we mean not the language of the Roman street vendor (which can know only imperfectly anyway), but our target is the Latin of a cultivated familiar style, such as that found in some of Cicero's letters, plays by Terence, and the superb colloquia familiaria of Erasmus ( to name just a few examples), in other words, the 'learned' Latin that was essentially the second language of all cultivated Europeans until relatively recently.

We also invite participants who are already experienced in the spoken use of Latin. It is our intention that the 'conventiculum' will provide such participants with a pleasant opportunity to practice their speaking skills and meet like-minded others.

The entry fee for the event in 2001 is sixty-five dollars. Please note that registration fees, once paid, are non refundable. This, unfortunately, is an administrative necessity. The deadline for receipt of registration fees is 1 May, 2001, but we strongly urge those intending to take part to register much earlier than the deadline. In 2001 our maximum number of participants will be 45.

A New Option for Participants:

In 2001 we will offer a new option - three weeks of introductory classes from 26 June to 17 July. Like the 'conventiculum', these classes are not designed for those still learning the essentials of Latin grammar, but for those who feel the need for additional practice in order to acclimatize themselves to the total immersion of the 'conventiculum' itself. Those who want to participate in the three-week long series of classes, with the 'conventiculum' itself as the 'capstone' experience, will have to pay university tuition for one course. But in return, participants who successfully complete both the classes and the 'conventiculum' will receive FULL ACADEMIC CREDIT for a graduate-level course in Latin. This option is being offered with teachers in mind, who need continuing course credit, and graduate students. For the tuition fee for one academic course at the University of Kentucky, call the following number: (859) 257-2000.

FLUENT LATIN A Teacher Institute Program
July 15-21, 2001

LOCATION:
Georgetown University Conference Center, Washington DC.

DIRECTOR:
Professor Dexter Hoyos, Department of Classics
The University of Sydney, Australia

Learn to read like a Roman read rather than decode or decipher the Latin. Comprehend the text as it is being read. Speed read and increase your comprehension at the same time. The techniques are simple; the advantages are obvious: more Latin can be read more easily and with greater comprehension.

By using the FLUENT LATIN APPROACH the circularity of students having to translate a text into English in order to find out what the Latin means, and then using the translation as a basis for comprehending and appreciating the author‚s implications, allusions and nuance, is avoided. These aims, which can be used with both beginning Latin students in high school and continued with college Latin majors, can moreover be attained without overlooking the proper claims of grammatical study.

This FLUENT LATIN PROGRAM (limited to 25 participants) is designed to introduce teachers (middle and high school as well as university faculty) to this highly successful, commonsensical and workable method for teaching Latin. During this five day intensive/interactive program, Professor Hoyos will explore the following topics:
(1) Basic Reading Rules for Fluent Latin
(2) Problems of Latin vs. English word-order
(3) Word-groups as foundation structures
(4) Sentence structures
(5) Principles of narrative Latin
(6) Descriptive Structures: places, peoples, characters
(7) Analytical sentences and Paragraphs
(8) Teaching and testing fluent reading skills without translation: line analysis, punctuation and manipulation.

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: March 30, 2001

TEACHING LATIN IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: GRADES 3-6
A Workshop for Teachers
July 20 - 23, 2001

Exposure to Latin in the Elementary School is one of the most efficient ways of improving spelling, reading, and writing skills. Studies show that learning Latin improves English verbal scores on standardized tests. The study of Latin also establishes a foundation for learning other modern languages.

This three day workshop is designed to provide Elementary Teachers and Administrators with a Curriculum Guide and a Promotional Program for introducing the study of Latin into the elementary curriculum (Grades 3-6) and for strengthening these programs already in existence at this level. Hands-on activities, resources and teaching materials will be discussed, shared and evaluated. The materials (which will form the focus of the Institute) are appropriate for developing a Latin course as part of the regular curriculum, or for an after-school enrichment club, for individual families, in distance learning, or as a curriculum for home schooling.

The Institute program will be limited to 20 participants. Early registration is advised.
