Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is the best-looking survey course material I have seen for intermediate Latin students. It is not only attractive in presentation, but also an excellent grammar review for my students."--Bette J. Ruellan, University of San Francisco
"Very much suited to the needs of the inexperienced student both in content of the selection and in practical exercises on grammar."--Sister Therese M. Dougherty, College of Notre Dame
"This is the best that I have even used in an elementary Latin sequence. It strikes a good balance between the 'inductive' and 'deductive' approaches....The readings...are compelling and appropriately challenging."--Brenda Fineberg, Knox College
"Exciting! Just what I've been looking for--selections and layout are appealing and conducive to student success."--Marilee Consalvo, Sacopee Valley High School, Cornish, ME
"Just perfect for our students' first reading course. They will be delighted by the selections, as well as informed. I am particularly pleased with the exercises that complement the readings."--Alysa J. Ward, University of Georgia
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Designed 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 has been 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 (now available in hardcover editions) are built around a narrative detailing the life of Horace, now based more 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 (paperback) is a reader consisting of extracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy, and Ovid.
The second edition of the Oxford Latin Course 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.
