Description

Teaching Delivery: This module is taught in 20 weekly classes.

Content: A module of exercises and discussions designed to improve fluency of unprepared translation into English from Latin prose and verse authors. Weekly classes provide practice in unseen translation of a wide-ranging selection of Latin prose and verse authors. Class work focuses on discussion of grammar and style, common pitfalls and hints about translation techniques as well as practical exercises.

Skills: By the end of the module students will have had sufficient practice to be able to apply their knowledge and thus make reasonable assumptions regarding the content of an unseen passage.

Introductory reading: any anthology of Latin passages for translation.
