Body: From http://www.sras.org The March 2009 SRAS Newsletter begins as follows: “This month, our newsletter is stood, so to say, on its head.

This month, we've reversed things and looked at what must form the basis of successful international political and business agreements: an understanding of the language and culture of the other party to the agreement.” Access this March newsletter at http://www.sras.org/newsletter2.phtml?m=413 . The School of Russian and Asian Studies (SRAS) is a study abroad firm providing opportunities to study Russian and a range of other subjects in Russia.

Title: Latin Teaching Materials at Saint Louis University
Body: From http://www.slu.edu/colleges/AS/languages/classical/latin/tchmat/tchmat.html A comprehensive list of 3400 Latin adjectives, arranged by type (available at http://www.slu.edu/colleges/AS/languages/classical/latin/tchmat/grammar/latinadjectives.html ) is a recent addition to the many resources available online from Saint Louis University. Other resources include the following: Grammar and Vocabulary Helps: These materials present the essentials of beginning and intermediate Latin morphology. In addition, you can find a summary of the vocabulary for Wheelock's Latin (6th Edition), other vocabulary studies, and some Flash movies for elementary Latin acquisition. LatinPraxis is a series of exercises correlated with the same text, using thousands and thousands of short phrases and sentences to help students achieve mastery of vocabulary and forms as well as an immediacy of understanding. Verbal Brilliance in Latin is a set of ready-to-go handouts in pdf format. This series of explanation-pages and exercises can be used in conjunction with any text, or they can stand alone as a beginning workshop in the study of Latin. Read the preface for an insight into the pedagogical problems that this approach is designed to address. Elementary Latin Readers: simplified Latin reading material for beginning and intermediate students. It is especially valuable because it carries much of the long-shared Western- and world- cultural-historical koine, such as Bible stories, Aesop's fables and famous anecdotes from antiquity. There is also one of the most famous books of fourteenth-century England, the Gesta Romanorum. Acceleration Readers: These readers use pedagogical typography and collections of parallel syntactical examples to increase comprehension speed for authentic classical texts. Paedagogica: Here are presentations of ideas that bear upon the pedagogy behind much of the material offered at this site. A selection of sites relating to Latin Pedagogy. Access these resources at http://www.slu.edu/colleges/AS/languages/classical/latin/tchmat/tchmat.html .
