What is the course about?
This course continues from Ancient Greek 4: Module 2, aiming to improve your fluency in reading and translating Greek, and helping you to gain a greater knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
This is a live online course. You will need:

We will contact you with joining instructions before your course starts.
What will we cover?
We shall be using the textbook OCR Anthology and Greek Beyond GCSE. Reading will be combined with grammar instruction and exercises on grammatical points, continuing at the start of Term 3 from towards the end of Section 15.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- Scansion knowledge in ancient Greek Epic and Drama
- Complex regular and irregular grammar forms and structures in Greek
- Grammar and syntax in both Greek prose and verse
- Independent translation in both Greek prose and verse.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should have completed Ancient Greek 4: Module 2 or have an equivalent knowledge. As this course is taught in English, you should be able to follow verbal and written instructions in English and also take part in class and group discussion around the learning. Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support with your English skills to help you take part fully in this class.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
The sessions combine whole-class discussion work with pair and group work. There will be instruction on ancient Greek grammar, grammatical exercises, and translation – combined with pronunciation work, and listening to and reading the texts aloud. You will be expected to do at least two hours’ homework per week. Homework tasks will be posted on Google Classroom each week.
