Latin III

Objectives

1. To develop receptive competence in Latin language that provides the reading and understanding of Latin texts of greater elaboration. (45%)
Specific outcomes:
2. To perfect the mechanisms that allow the Latin version into Portuguese. (20%)
3. To develop productive competence in Latin language that provides the use of lexical and morphosyntactic structures in texts of greater elaboration. (10%)
4. To understand the morphosemantic and lexical structures of Latin and Romance languages, in particular the Portuguese, in order to apprehend the main mechanisms of the evolution of the languages derived from Latin. (10%)
5. To acquire knowledge of Roman culture and literature that provide understanding of reading/studied texts. (5%)
6. To establish relationships between elements of Roman culture present in texts and elements of Western culture (5%)

Teaching method

A direct teaching method with a sequential approach is used. As the Unit is theoretical-practical, pedagogical strategy is based on a sequential structure of activities that mobilize students by cycles: performing recapitulation or new content exercises, supervised translation practice and reading. Pre-existing knowledge is revealed in systematic reviews of phonetics, morphology and syntax carried out before teaching a new content. The worksheets with texts for translation and their questionnaire (inscriptions and literary excerpts) are delivered throughout the semester. The planning provided on the first classes day allows a self-managed follow-up. The specific objectives formulation demonstrates that cognitive, attitude and psychomotor skills are interconnect.Self-regulation is encouraged throughout the semester and, in the end, a self-assessment.
