Welcome to the website for LATN 4770

SALVETE, VOS OMNES!! This is the site for my online Latin teaching methods course, “Methods and Materials for Teaching Latin” (LATN 4770: aka, “When in Rome, Remember Your SANDALS!”). The course, designed by myself and offered courtesy of the University of Georgia’s Department of Classics through the University System of Georgia’s office of Independent and Distance Learning, carries three hours of undergraduate credit and is offered throughout the year on a “rolling admissions” basis; qualified students may enroll at any time, proceed at their own pace, and complete the course within two to nine months of registration.

Check out the OVERVIEW of the course content; then for further information email me directly.

This site is open to ANYONE, and I hope it will be of some value, not just to my methods students, but to Latin teachers everywhere, especially to novice teachers and teachers-in-training–though there may be some RES BONAE here even for veterans! The site includes, not exhaustive, but rather REPRESENTATIVE materials that may serve as models, or at least be suggestive, of the sorts of lesson plans, assessments (tests, quizzes, etc.), handouts and worksheets, powerpoints and videos, and a wide variety of other materials that Latin teachers (at ALL levels, from grade school to graduate school) may use in their classrooms (a few of the materials–forms and the like–are specific to the course itself). The LINKS page, moreover, will direct you to a number of other websites that I regard as among the most useful to Latin teachers and that point the way to a vast treasure trove of resources to enrich your teaching.

I will be most grateful to any visitor to this site who wishes to suggest other useful websites for the LINKS page and especially to anyone who has exemplary and innovative materials (lesson plans, tests, handouts, powerpoints, video clips, etc.) and is willing to share them; I cannot post all materials, but please email me any resources you think may be appropriate and I promise to give them prompt and careful attention.

MILLE GRATIAS AC VALETE!!
