Welcome to the Cambridge Latin Course
With a 40 year history of development and revision, the Cambridge Latin Course (CLC) has established itself as the leading beginner's course for Latin.
Aims of the CLC
 |
to teach comprehension of the Latin language for reading purposes; |
|
to develop an understanding of the history and culture of Roman civilisation; |
|
to encourage a wide range of approaches to language learning through the use of high quality audio-visual resources. |
Print materials
The core resource is a series of 5 textbooks, published by
Cambridge University Press
(CUP). These can be ordered through your local bookshop or directly from CUP. Further print materials provide support for both teachers (e.g. Teacher's Guides) and learners (e.g. Independent Learning Manuals). Go to our
shop
for detailed information on all CLC print materials.
Electronic materials
To go with the CLC textbooks there are two types of electronic materials:
Online Activities
available free on this web site. These activities are organised Book by Book and Stage by Stage to fit in with the printed textbooks.
You will also find here an online dictionary and vocabulary tester.
The CLC E-Learning Resources on DVD
funded by the Department for Education and Skills, and produced in conjunction with Granada and CUP, the CLC E-Learning Resources on DVD each provide 1,000 electronic activities, including specially commissioned videos, for CLC Books I and II.
