LATIN COURSE FOR TEENAGERS – PART V (OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2017)
TUTOR: Dr, JOHN WHELPTON
 
The textbook for this course, Cambridge Latin Course, is by far the most popular in the UK and is used by over 90% of schools teaching Latin. Students will already  have a copy of Book II and will be expected before Session 8 to purchase a copy of Book III either directly themselves or via the course tutor. If ordering yourself, make sure you select the UK Fourth edition, as the North American edition has some differences.  The book is currently (October 2018) available at HK$216.22 at https://www.bookdepository.com/Cambridge-Latin-Course-Book-3-Student-s-Book/9780521797948  
You will be supplied with Powerpoints illustrating each Cambridge stage during the course. Please note that these are copyright materials and should not be passed on to anybody else.
You will be welcome to contact me on [email protected] if you have questions at any time.
