![]() ![]() ~ Claude Pavur, Saint Louis University I wholeheartedly agree with the authors’ stated goals. Dinsmore, University of Cincinatti - Clermont College It is a new, creative approach, building on a tradition of good insights and based on a searching examination of the pedagogical issues relevant to college learners. This eclectic approach is what I’ve been looking for. I also like that the story is carried out through the book. The combined approach proposed by the authors does seem to be the best way for students to acquire a reading knowledge of Latin. DISCE is for use in introductory Latin programs and is suitable for both high school and college students. Disce is also the first text to be supported by MyLatinLab, providing the most modern course management and online support to a Classical language. Additionally, Disce weaves culture throughout the text, and stresses the role of Classical culture in the modern world by the many links drawn between Latin and modern languages, and between Roman practices and modern culture. ![]() ![]() The guiding principle throughout is what is best for the student and for the particular concepts being studied at any given moment. It thus combines the grammar approach and the reading-based approach. An original, unified story provides controlled introduction to vocabulary and grammar in context while also utilizing orderly and clear grammar explanations in every chapter. Designed to bring students to the point where they can read Latin fluently, DISCE combines the best of both the grammar approach and reading method. ![]()
