Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:21:25
Abstract
Modern Greek II leads to A1.2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is the second part of a four-semester Modern Greek course. The goal of the course is that participants acquire basic language skills in speaking, listening comprehension, and reading and writing Greek script. The focus is also on vocabulary extension, basic grammar, and pronunciation practice.
Objective
Participants are able to use Modern Greek adequately in selected areas. They can form simple sentences in past and future tenses. They can write short descriptive texts. 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 A1.2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and on developing cultural competence. Special importance is attached to an academic environment and student life. Content areas that are embedded in various communicative tasks include: Talking about work rhythms and holiday plans; giving information about times, dates, days of the week, months, name days, birthdays, and other holidays; talking about the weather; booking a holiday; asking for information about a place; making arrangements with friends; and talking about leisure activities.
