Abstract

There exist many pedagogical methods we can use to examine, expound and explain ancient authors to our students. In this paper I propose an alternative approach to teach Sallust in an undergraduate setting, with explanatory aids, exercises, tests and quizzes. The latter result not from quick consideration, but from daily use and application in my own classes. In addition, I give reasons why it is helpful to teach Latin in Latin and what advantages it has for students who have learned well the grammar and have moved on to reading and analysis of the ancient texts. Students who had had no prior exposure to this approach completed an evaluation at the end of the academic year; the results are provided as a conclusion to the article.
