Study programmes

Graduates of the Latin Language and Literature with a Focus on Education Bachelor’s degree programme acquire the fundamental disciplinary, didactic and pedagogical foundations that prepare them for further study in a follow-up Master’s degree programme in teacher education and for their future professional development in the field of education.

At a level appropriate for prospective teaching practice, graduates possess a reliable body of knowledge and skills in Classical Latin, based on systematic study of vocabulary and grammar (morphology and syntax) and on the reading of selected Latin texts in both translation and the original language. They are familiar with key periods and areas of ancient, particularly Roman, culture, literature and history, and are able to relate this knowledge to broader cultural and social contexts.

During their studies, graduates become acquainted with basic approaches to the teaching of Latin, including the specific features of teaching a non-spoken (ancient) language, as well as with selected methods and techniques of language education. They understand the principles of effective use of digital technologies and modern teaching tools, including educational applications and artificial intelligence, in Latin language instruction.

Graduates understand the role of Latin instruction within the Czech educational system, are familiar with relevant curricular documents, and are aware of institutions and platforms dedicated to Latin and its teaching, which they use for their own professional development.

At the same time, graduates develop essential teaching competencies: they are able to plan, implement and reflect on instruction, provide feedback, create a supportive and safe learning environment, and work systematically with their professional portfolio as a tool for self-reflection and professional growth.

The programme creates the conditions for further deepening these knowledge skills and competencies in a follow-up Master's programme so that upon completion, students are able to take full responsibility for teaching.
