Lecturer :  Etienne Famerie
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
All year long, with partial in January
Course contents :  
The student will prepare each week on his/her own one of the 25 lessons in the Méthode, and do the corresponding exercises (with the help of an answer key); during the second semester the student will prepare two texts per week (texts furnished with translations and/or grammatical explanations). The course consists by definition in a number of meetings for the purpose of doing exercises. Practice sessions will be organized on request, especially to prepare for the practice tests (3 non-obligatory tests that do not exempt students from the final examination).
Learning outcomes of the course :  
To enable students who haven't studied Latin in secondary school (or not enough: 4 years) to sufficiently master the basic structures of the language to be able to translate a text of average difficulty with a dictionary and a grammar book.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
No previous knowledge of Latin is required. Learning a language requires regular personal work: therefore, it is not enough to simply passively attend classes two hours a week (hence the need to prepare lessons and texts). The classes are dedicated to answering questions, examining certain points, doing extra exercises and, as soon as possible, supervised translations of sentences, then texts.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Duration and period: 30 hrs th. + 30 hrs pr. Place and times: 1st and 2nd semester, Fridays 10:00 to 12:00. See http://cipl82.philo.ulg.ac.be/horaires Method of teaching and learning: theoretical lectures and supervised work.
