Experience report on monitoring in the discipline of Latin I: Language and Culture Federal University of Roraima

Abstract

This text is a report on the experience of monitoring the subjects Latin I: Language and Culture and Latin II: Language and Culture, com- pulsory subjects for the initial semesters of the Languages courses at the Fe- deral University of Roraima (UFRR). Among the activities carried out in the monitoring programme were the tutoring of students and the development of an individual project related to the teaching of Latin, which resulted in the writing of an academic article. The aim of this article is to describe the activities carried out, the challenges faced and the results obtained over the course of the academic semesters, as well as to reflect on the importance of tutoring for the student-monitor’s own academic development, both in terms of deepening their knowledge in the area of Classical Studies and in terms of their first contact with scientific research in this area of knowledge. The report highlights the importance of tutoring as a pedagogical practice that contributes to the teaching and learning of Latin and classical culture.
