What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- Develop your vocabulary.
- Enhance your fluency and accuracy in speaking.
- Improve your listening and reading of Modern Greek.
- Strengthen your critical thinking and argumentative skills.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Students should have studied Modern Greek for at least 5 years recently or have an equivalent knowledge of the language.
Courses at this level are equivalent to CEFR: B2.
Choose a level 4 course if you can:
understand authentic, long passages of some complexity (e.g., interviews, adverts, news broadcasts, etc),
participate in authentic conversation with native speakers using a good range of generally accurate language,
argue a viewpoint convincingly,
understand authentic texts with ease (e.g., articles from the press, literary extracts, etc).
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and debates. A range of resources will be used to support your learning, including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material. Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
