The materials used also serve as an introduction to contemporary Greek society and culture. Linguistic skills will also be extended through projects developed and reported on in class, and involving interaction with the local Greek community.

Assessment

Regular assignments of 2000 words, a 1000 word project, a 2-hour written test, a 10-minute oral/aural test, and two 10-minute oral class presentations.
