Basic Program in Latin
Basic Program in Greek

The Latin/Greek Institute of The City University of New York is a collaborative effort of the City University Graduate Center and Brooklyn College. The Institute offers intensive, total-immersion programs in ancient languages during the summer that enable serious, highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students to cover the material normally included in several semesters of conventional work in a single summer. All programs are team-taught by experienced instructors. In addition to being intensive, the programs are unique in that they provide 24-hour availability of faculty to assist students by phone in the preparation of assignments, hourly rotation of staff to provide for exposure to a variety of approaches, and a low student-faculty ratio.

The basic programs of the Latin/Greek Institute enable students with no previous training in either language to cover the material normally included in four to six semesters of college-level Latin or Greek in ten weeks of instruction and, upon completing the program, to enroll in senior undergraduate reading courses.

Civil War in Latin Literature

This course will study the vital and fascinating issue of civil war in Latin literature. Starting with a brief outline of major events of civil strife in Roman history, the class will read passages from Latin works of the first centuries B.C.E. and C.E., including prose authors such as Caesar, Cicero, and Tacitus, and Roman poets such as Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. The course will address the question of how various Roman authors engage with the theme of civil war, and why this theme is important in Latin literature.

This class is designed for upper-level undergraduate Latin students, who will register for Latin 316, and for MA-level Latin students, who will register for Latin 708. Some course requirements will be differentiated based on undergraduate/graduate status.

The class will run from mid-July to mid-August. Exact dates for Hunter’s “Summer Session II” to be posted shortly. Class meets Monday, Wednesday, Thursday evenings.

Instructor: Timothy Hanford, M.A. in the Teaching of Latin, Hunter College, Ph.D. Candidate in Classics, CUNY Graduate Center, Adjunct Lecturer, Hunter College

For thirty-three years, Intensive Summer Greek at UT Austin has been giving students of diverse backgrounds and interests a rapid and deep understanding of the structure of the Greek language and a love of Greek prose and poetry. You need have no previous knowledge of Greek. If you have had a semester or two or more, the special approach in this course will strengthen your grasp of how Greek works and why it is so subtle a vehicle for conveying ideas.

You will use *Lexis*, a unique textbook and reader designed by the late Gareth Morgan. All of its exercises are based on full passages of real, unaltered and unabbreviated Classical Greek. First readings of Ionic Greek will make you aware of word formation, and that knowledge will enable you to acquire vocabulary quickly. Ionic Greek also is a main component of the Homeric dialect. Once you learn it, you can move easily forward to standard Attic authors and Biblical Greek and backward to Greek epic verse.

You will not read one dreary practice sentence made up in clever desperation or desperate ingenuity. By the sixth day, you will be reading continuous pure Herodotus. All students who successfully complete the course will be well prepared for sophomore-level classes and dedicated students from past intensive courses have been able to go into classes at higher levels. Students of other subjects have used Greek right away to enrich and inform their studies.

Students must register for both GK W804 and W412. The course runs through both summer sessions. It meets for five hours each day for about fifty class days, and, if satisfactorily completed, counts for 12 semester hours. Classes working under these language-saturation conditions have achieved an enthusiasm and spirit conducive to an unusually rich learning experience. Usually, in the second half, besides ample grammar review, we read Homer's Odyssey IX, Euripides' Medea, Plato's Apology, and some supplementary readings handed out in class.

Intensive course in Koine Greek, Level II
Intensive course in Biblical Hebrew, Level I

The courses are given at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, in collaboration with the Polis Institute of Languages and Humanities. The courses are taught following the Polis method.

The first lessons are based upon the TPR (Total Physical Response) method, which allows the student to be actively involved in the class. Besides, through the TPR Storytelling technique the student assimilates the vocabulary in a natural way and starts speaking the ancient language right from the very beginning. Polis is so far the only institute in the world where one can learn these three languages (Latin, Ancient Greek and Biblical Hebrew) as living ones.
