Course Content (Syllabus)
The course focuses on special topics of language education, focusing on Modern Greek L2 teaching. Grammar and vocabulary are the first topics the class will examine. With regard to first, the concept of 'grammar' and the approaches to its teaching are discussed. The role of metalanguage in teaching as well as the selection, gradation, and sequencing of grammatical items in the syllabus will be our next point of interest. In this context, the gradation of Greek grammatical
structures proposed by the Centre for the Greek Language will be presented and discussed.
As far as vocabulary is concerned, the class will explore aspects of word knowledge (pronunciation, spelling, contexts in which vocabulary items occur, etc.). The notions of basic, academic, and technical vocabulary will also be analyzed. We will focus on direct and indirect vocabulary learning, as well as vocabulary learning strategies.
The next topic the class will discuss is academic language, or ‘disciplinary language', i.e., the language resources required when engaging with the various subject areas at school. We will examine the views in favor of teaching for academic language development as well as recent views which consider the construct problematic.
Finally, we will be concerned with issues of language assessment (language tests as well as alternative forms of assessment). The Certification of Attainment in Moden Greek offered by the Centre for the Greek Language will also be presented and discussed. Finally, the course addresses the provision of oral and written feedback.
