Conventiculum Vasintoniense MMIX
The Seventh Annual Washington Spoken-Latin Seminar will be held on the campus of Wenatchee Valley College in Wenatchee, WA from June 30th through July 8th, 2009.
The Conventiculum Vasintoniense is unique among conventicula as it is largely activity-based. After the two days of preparatory sessions, which are held on campus, subsequent days are divided between classroom sessions, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, mountain hikes and field trips devoted to the type of experiential, kinesthetic learning that converts passive knowledge into an active “ownership” of the language. Those who learn to speak Latin fluently report dramatically improved reading comprehension. Those who learn in an activity-based way experience Latin in more ways, have more fun, and learn even more deeply. This seminar is in fact much like taking a vacation…but all in Latin! The Wenatchee location was chosen for this year since it will provide the added advantage of being significantly less expensive than our previous seminars held in mountain lodges and in Seattle.
The program's flyer is available in both English and Latin

Conventiculum Bostoniense
A full-immersion residential experience sponsored by Classics Department of University of Massachusetts at Boston, specifically designed for teachers in schools and universities, who want to gain some ability to communicate ex-tempore in correct Latin on a wide range of subjects. Two different graduate level courses are offered during the Conventiculum, one for first time attendees and the other for returning participants or those who already have experience with Latin as a communicative language. Days are filled with instructional activities, including sessions focused on oral expression or prose composition, opportunities for social interaction.
