Subject Description

In this subject students undertake an intensive program of formal language-learning and cultural immersion of four to six weeks in duration in Greece or Cyprus. Eligible programs are offered by several Greek universities. If the number of interested students warrants and circumstances allow, the program may be partly taught in Greece/Cyprus by a member of the Department's staff. Students enrolling in this subject must pay their own airfares and meet their personal travel, accommodation and living expenses in Greece/Cyprus. Scholarships are available on a competitive basis to assist with such expenses, including the Melbourne Abroad Scholarships (Language Study), and those offered by Greek/Cypriot tertiary institutions. Details are available from the coordinator.

Assessment

Exercises and tests prescribed for in-country language program and a 1500-word diary describing and discussing cultural activities attended in Greece/Cyprus to be submitted by a date specified for each student.
