CONVENTICULUM 2014:

July 26th-Aug. 3rd.

What? The 670 course is for first-time attendees of the Conventiculum Bostoniense to practice their spoken Latin to help them become better Classicists, all while learning how this method agrees with second-language acquisition theory to best teach our students. The 675 course is for repeat-attendees to read and discuss ancient and neo-Latin texts, as well as scholarly articles, in the target language of Latin.

Where? A new location for the Conventiculum Bostoniense, join us at Salem State University's gorgeous campus. This new location puts us in the heart of Salem and allows us to both discuss and interact with its unique history.

When? The immersion week itself runs July 26 through August 3 for both the 670 and the 675 classes. Participants in the 670 course must participate in a three-week online component, prior to attending the week, paying close attention to second-language acquisition theory.

Who? All lovers, teachers, and speakers of the Latin language, no matter how experienced, are encouraged to attend. Successful completion of this program only needs an open mind and positive attitude. As for the instructors, we have invited PhDs from around the world, who have been speaking and teaching Latin for decades, to work with our tirones and veterani alike. The opportunities for one-on-one interaction and small group sessions are vast at this intimate immersion experience.

How? How much? The application is a one-page, downloadable, .pdf file that simply needs to be filled out an emailed to conventiculumbostoniense@gmail.com. The application is the same for participants in the 670 and 675 class, 2 or 3 credits, all of which can be specified on the application itself. The 3-credit option for both classes is $1685, while the 2-credit option is $1195. These fees include a private room at Salem State for the week, the university graduate credits, the course and its materials, all excursion fees, and a few meals. What a bargain!
