Oxford University Press Oxford Latin Reader (Oxford Latin Course) - Oxford University Press

Master the fundamentals of Latin with the Oxford Latin Reader, a second edition text from Oxford University Press. This course bridges the gap between modern and traditional teaching methods, taking students from their first stages through to GCSE level. Designed following a nationwide survey of Classics teachers, this edition provides a revised and restructured approach to language learning. Instead of focusing solely on grammar rules, the curriculum uses an exciting method based on reading original texts. Parts I-III follow a continuous narrative detailing the life of Horace. By using historical sources to build this story, the reader helps students gain a deep understanding of the era of Cicero and Augustus. This context makes the language come alive, providing a clear window into the ancient world while building essential reading skills.
