This guide outlines a four-year program of Latin instruction which may be used on either the elementary or high school levels. Although the program is designed to develop all four language skills--reading, writing, listening, speaking--emphasis is placed on reading comprehension. The course also provides for an appreciation of Roman culture and civilization and its contributions to Western civilization and literature. Each of the four levels corresponds to one year of the sequence. Five basic areas are covered at each level--phonology, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, culture--with one optional topic which may concentrate on linguistic contributions or outside reading. A section on evaluation criteria for each level is included, as well as a bibliography of audiovisual resources. (DD)
