The primary objective of Latin classes is the translation of texts, yet there is a growing emphasis on comprehending and interpreting texts in their entirety. This book provides practical suggestions and task formats that draw upon findings in text comprehension and reading research, as well as current trends in language didactics and educational research. The book offers task formats suitable for students of various ability levels, including scaffolding that aids learners in understanding and translating texts. Language-sensitive teaching is also emphasized, with task formats designed to promote language formation, language awareness, and language promotion.

The tasks presented in this book can be utilized in different teaching contexts and learning situations. They can serve as preparation for translation, as a substitute for translation (e.g., for cursory reading), or as a follow-up activity to deepen the understanding of the content of the translated text. By incorporating these task formats, Latin teachers can facilitate students' language acquisition and promote a deeper understanding of the literary works studied.
