SynopsisDesigned for North American students, this special version of the Oxford Latin Course combines the best features of both modern and traditional methods of Latin teaching, providing an exciting, stimulating introduction and approach to Latin based on the reading of original texts.In this four-volume North American edition, the order of declensions corresponds to customary U.S. usage and the spelling is Americanized. In addition, it offers full-color illustrations and photographs throughout Parts I and II and an expanded Teacher's Book with translations for each part. Parts I -III are built around a narrative detailing the life of Horace, based closely on historical sources, which helps students to get to know real Romans--with their daily activities, concerns, and habits--and to develop an understanding of Roman civilization during the time of Cicero and Augustus. Part IV is a reader consisting of extracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, and Ovid.The Oxford Latin Course, 2/e has been carefully designed to maximize student interest, understanding, and competence. It features a clearer presentation of grammar, revised narrative passages, new background sections, more emphasis on daily life and on the role of women, a greater number and variety of exercises, and review chapters and tests. Each chapter opens with a set of cartoons with Latin captions that illustrate new grammar points. A Latin reading follows, with new vocabulary highlighted in the margins and follow-up exercises that focus on reading comprehension and grammatical analysis. A background essay in English concludes each chapter. Covering a variety of topics--from history to food, from slavery to travel, these engaging essays present a well-rounded picture of Augustan Rome.The Oxford Latin Course, Second Edition offers today's students and teachers an exceptionally engaging and attractive introduction to the language, literature, and culture of Rome--one that builds skills effectively and is exciting to use., A new three-part course providing an introduction to the language, literature, and culture of the Romans, The Oxford Latin Course combines the best features of both modern and traditional methods of teaching Latin. The first two parts center on a narrative of the life of Horace, following historical sources and building up a picture of the times of Cicero and Augustus. The third part consists of extracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, and Ovid. The course focuses on reading skills, introducing new grammar and syntax in context before explaining it; it also provides a clear framework of grammar and practice in grammatical analysis. The course is illustrated throughout with a wealth of cartoons and photographs--with Latin captions. The Teacher's Book covers all three Parts of the course; it contains ideas on presenting the material, plus commentaries on each chapter.
