Abstract

Modern Greek I leads to A1.1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is the first part of a four-semester Modern Greek course. The goal of the course is for participants to acquire basic language skills in speaking, listening comprehension, and reading and writing Greek script. The focus is also on building basic vocabulary and on acquiring basic grammar.

Objective

Participants are able to use Modern Greek adequately in selected areas. They have basic vocabulary skills, which they can use actively. They can read and write Greek script well. They can filter out a general overview from the information presented on Greek websites. The focus is on speaking, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension skills at A1.1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and on the development of cultural competence. Special importance is attached to an academic environment and student life. Content areas that are embedded in various communicative tasks include: Giving information about yourself, your job, your studies, your place of residence, and your personal preferences; and conducting simple, everyday conversations (including ordering food and drink, shopping, and inquiring about places).
