WLG230: Latin IIStudents continue their introduction to Latin with fundamental building blocks in four key areas of foreign language study: listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. Students master common and some specialized vocabulary terms and phrases; comprehend a wide range of grammar patterns; generate language incorporating basic and some specialized vocabulary and a range of grammar patterns; analyze and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives of ancient Roman culture; regularly assess progress in proficiency through quizzes, tests, and speaking/writing submissions. Each week consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, numerous interactive games reinforcing vocabulary and grammar, reading and listening comprehension activities (based on authentic Latin texts about Roman and Greek myth), speaking and writing activities, and cultural presentations covering significant aspects of Roman culture or their modern-day manifestations, and assessments. The course has been carefully aligned to national standards as set forth by ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages).
