de Romanis
The KS3 Latin course that's breathing new life into Latin teaching!
Suitable for Key Stage 3 and upwards, de Romanis offers an introduction to both the Latin language and the cultural world of the Romans for all abilities.
Throughout the course, students can gradually build their proficiency in Latin while exploring cultural topics through background notes, primary sources and engaging stories. This steady development ensures the broad understanding and confidence needed to progress to GCSE-level Latin, Ancient History or Classical Civilisation and on to further studies.
WHAT ARE TEACHERS SAYING ABOUT DE ROMANIS?
“We have moved to de Romanis this year, and it has offered students a tremendous balance of exciting Roman background material and logically presented Latin grammar.”
– Chris Burnand, Abingdon School
“Contains some interesting innovative features ... Many Latin teachers would welcome de Romanis as appropriate and useful for their students.”
Classics for All
“The de Romanis textbooks have breathed new life into Latin learning!”
– Emma Kate Trow-Poole, The King’s School, Worcester
“This exciting new Latin course has rst-rate integration of linguistic and paralinguistic material. The carefully graded stories are all the sorts of stories that the Romans did tell about themselves and to their children.”
Melvin Cooley, Warwick School
“de Romanis seemed heaven-sent to help me!”
– Jo Lashley, Wolsey Hall, Oxford
“The stories and background material chosen for both books are relevant, appealing and a great knowledge base to understand the world of the Romans - women included - without resorting to sugar coating.”
Ana Martin, Latin Tutor Online

What makes de Romanis so special? Develops students’ English literacy skills through derivation tasks and two-way translation exercises. Language learning is split between Core and Additional to suit learners of all abilities and provide teachers with flexible timetabling options.
Fun and varied exercises include word identification and manipulation, vocabulary acquisition and consolidation, and translation from English into Latin.
Vocabulary is consistently consolidated to develop fluency and build an unshakeable grounding for GCSE. Early use of Latin stories rather than isolated sentences coupled with clear and systematic explanations of grammar build student confidence from the start. Chapters start with background material and primary sources from ancient literature, art and archaeology, enabling students to engage with authentic Roman history and connect this to their language learning.

Starting to Teach Latin, Second Edition
Steven Hunt
This second edition of Steven Hunt’s popular Starting to Teach Latin has been updated throughout and includes information about, and analysis of, recent Latin textbook publications and curriculum developments. Arguments about the value and purpose of learning Latin at school level are re-examined in the light of current educational thinking and government policy-making.
This is a book that has proven invaluable for trainees, newly qualified teachers and more experienced practitioners looking for practical ideas and strategies to motivate and engage learners of Latin. It provides both practical, up-to-date guidance and a theoretical overview on a number of key topics in Latin teaching, offering advice on topics such as:
• essay writing
• teaching controversial topics including women, slavery, ethnicity and social hierarchy
• making use of primary sources
• using ICT to advance language skills
• a survey of the three main approaches to Latin teaching: grammar-translation, communicative and reading approaches; explanation of cognitive and social approaches to learning
• an analysis of the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
