Abstract:

This paper presents a preliminary report on a program developed to provide elementary Latin students focused practice with a variety of grammatical elements they must control in order to be able to translate Latin. It discusses the nature of the computerized material (and the ways in which students use it), offers a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of the program, and makes some observations on student behavior as manifested in their use of the computer. It concludes with some comments on how in the future the writer intends to conduct individual conferences with students in an effort to get them to derive fuller benefit from their use of the computerized material.
