Semester: 2

Planned timetable: TBC

This module will deal with the different ways in which students may make use of their knowledge of Latin in order to produce both translations from English texts into grammatically correct Latin and also free compositions directly in Latin. This will involve a more active process of language learning than is required for translation from Latin into English, though it will also have benefits for the reading of original texts. The content of the module will deal with all aspects of the Latin language that need special study for effective translation into Latin: particles, participles, the treatment of abstract nouns, equivalence between English and Latin idioms, etc.
