Abstract

The general topic of the course is Living in Exile. On the basis of didactically prepared texts written by several Latin authors (Cicero, Seneca, Ovid) different forms of exile are examined.

Objective

Students gain an understanding of various aspects of a new topic and are able to analyse and contrast these aspects within a wider context. Participants reactivate, review, and improve their language skills (vocabulary, morphology, morphosyntax) by applying these skills to texts and in exercises (translation competence, text analysis).

Content

Students mostly prepare the texts at home for class discussion. Furthermore, important topics of basic grammar are reviewed (exercises).
