Abstract

This article brings the result of a practice of teaching Latin in Letters courses for over a decade. The study aims to analyze the teaching praxis, unifying theory and practice, adjusting them according to the needs raised in class. In an attempt to choose a theory appropriate to the reality of URCA, the application of teaching methods was carried out, among them: traditional method, grammatical method with text fragments, textual method - I, textual method - II and semantic method with a focus on translation. For the preparation of the research, a literature review was carried out, with emphasis on the most widely used Latin grammars, as well as the various bibliographies on classical language teaching, which have served for the professional qualification of Latin teachers. From the theory of Lexical Semantics, the following were consulted: Ribeiro (2016), Castilho (2014), Cançado (2012), Ilari and Geraldi (2006), Ilari (2001), among others. The study is concluded with reflections about the practice.
