LAN 1700: Latin II
06/01/2026 to 05/30/2027 • Modified 04/16/2026Course Description
This year-long course allows students to improve their ability to comprehend written Latin texts on various topics. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of texts rather than interpersonal communication. To support the development of reading and interpretation skills, students learn to understand oral Latin and write increasingly complex phrases and sentences. Students will read and translate sections from the Latin Vulgate. Students also learn about the perspectives, practices, and products of the ancient Roman people and identify the impact of this civilization on Christ’s time on earth. This course equips students to thrive in their language journey and overall linguistic growth through creative assignments, captivating media, consistent conjugation discipline, and modern applications. Through their understanding of the structures and vocabulary of the Latin language, students enhance their understanding of these same linguistic elements of English.
