Elementary Modern Greek. Elementary Courses Section 001. An introductory course in language with special emphasis on developing speaking skills. Most of the classroom time is spent on drills and on elementary dialogues among the students and between the students and the instructor. A creative approach to language learning is followed, whereby the class simulates everyday life situations and the students are asked to improvise responses to those situations.
Instruction also focuses on elementary grammar and syntax.
Homework involves preparation for the dialogues and drills. Additional exercises at home and in the classroom include descriptions of objects and contexts, problem-solving, interviews among students, and conversion of dialogues into narratives. There are weekly quizzes or tests, a midterm, and a final examination. No Data Given. Second Year Modern Greek I. Elementary Courses Section 001.
