Course Descriptions
Introductory language courses are sequential (101,
102, 210); each lower numbered course is a prerequisite for the next one
in the sequence. For entrance into any course except 101, the student must
have taken the previous course or have placed into that level. It is not
permissible for a student to enroll in one of the above courses with a lower
number than any other course in that language which the student has successfully
completed with a grade of C or better. (For example, enrolling in 101 after
completing 102 with a grade of C or better will not be allowed.)
Courses taught in translation (such as AFRE 388, AFRE 398, AGER 398, or ASPA 388) do not have a language prerequisite and cannot be used to satisfy the language requirement.
ALAT 101 Beginning Latin. (4) (Prereq: Open to students
who have not studied Latin previously or who place into this course)
Study of the fundamentals of the language at the most basic level
with an emphasis on reading Latin as well as enriching one’s
English vocabulary and examining the cultural context of Latin (e.g.,
Roman way of life, art, architecture, history, literature, etc.).
The evolution of modern European languages from Latin will also be
studied.
ALAT 102 Continuing Latin. (4) (Prereq: C or better
in ALAT 101 or by placement) Continuation of Beginning Latin with
more intense practice in reading, writing, understanding and analyzing
Latin at the ACTFL-recommended novice high level. Knowledge of culture,
traditions, and customs of the regions where Latin was developed will
also be included.
ALAT 210 Intermediate Latin. (4) (Prereq: C or better in ALAT 102 or by placement) Students will develop proficiency in Latin at the Intermediate High level or above through the use and intense practice of multiple linguistic skills. Emphasis will also be placed on knowledge of the historical constructs in which Latin was used and on the geographic regions in which this language was developed. |
