Adding a conversational component, dialogues, listening exercises, and recitation are only the first steps to making a Latin class more living. Eventually, the goal is to eliminate all use of English from the Latin classroom. This will mean learning (1) how to introduce vocabulary without giving the English equivalent; (2) how to facilitate students learning grammar without you explaining it to them in English, but by showing it until the student “gets it” (induction); and (3) how to check understanding of a text in Latin not through translating it, but through asking questions in Latin and through paraphrasing.
