This second edition of the Oxford Latin Course combines the best features of both modern and traditional methods of Latin teaching from first stages to GCSE. Completely revised and restructured in the light of a nationwide survey of Classics teachers, it provides an exciting, stimulating approach to Latin based on the reading of original texts. Parts I-III are built around a narrative detailing the life of Horace, based closely on historical sources, which helps students to develop an understanding of the times of Cicero and Augustus.

Very much suited to the needs of the inexperienced student both in content of the selection and in practical exercises on grammar. --Sister Therese M. Dougherty, College of Notre Dame
This is the best that I have even used in an elementary Latin sequence. It strikes a good balance between the 'inductive' and 'deductive' approaches....The readings...are compelling and appropriately challenging. --Brenda Fineberg, Knox College
Exciting! Just what I've been looking for--selections and layout are appealing and conducive to student success. --Marilee Consalvo, Sacopee Valley High School, Cornish, ME
Just perfect for our students' first reading course. They will be delighted by the selections, as well as informed. I am particularly pleased with the exercises that complement the readings. --Alysa J. Ward, University of Georgia
