LATIN IMMERSION TRIP TO OXFORD, UK. August 11-18, 2024
Latin Immersion Trip to Oxford
Join a week-long Latin immersion at historic Jesus College, Oxford, open to all proficiency levels. The college, nestled in the heart of Oxford, offers lodging in original gothic quads and breakfast in the Elizabethan dining hall. Classes occur in both lecture rooms and picturesque quads adorned with summer blooms.
Following lunch, enjoy leisure time exploring Oxford before diverse Latin prose and poetry discussions in mixed groups. Optional evening activities, such as games or punting on the Cherwell river, are available.
Included in the programme is a field trip to Chedworth Roman Villa, showcasing remarkable mosaics, bath-houses, and artifacts. Irrespective of proficiency, this immersion guarantees substantial fluency growth, unforgettable historical experiences, and opportunities for global friendships. Skilled instructors lead engaging classes, supporting beginners and facilitating discussions among confident speakers to enhance Latin skills.
Academic excellence
-
The course will be organised and run by the highly experienced Oxford Latinitas Latin teaching team.
-
Pre-course diagnostic: one of the team will have a short 1:1 call with each applicant to ensure that everyone is placed in the right group, and to answer any questions about the curriculum.
The best route to rapid language acquisition is full immersion, so we will encourage the use of Latin as the only language spoken for the duration of the course, including on the field trips.
