Semester 1, 2010
  • GRK101 - Greek 1
    The topic is designed for both beginners and those who have had some formal instruction in the language. It consists of a three or four-hour language class per week and one-hour culture lecture, according to levels of linguistic competence (Beginners and Advanced). Beginner students will receive a systematic introduction to the Greek language through class interaction for gradually improving communication skills (all grammar explanations will be in English). Advanced students will gradually improve linguistic, conversational and compositional skills based on a variety of themes.
    All students, together, will attend a one-hour Culture lecture per week delivered in English, on Greek and Cypriot History, Culture, Literature and Society, Greek Migration to Australia or other culture related studies.
  • GRK201 - Greek 3
    There are two interconnected study components in this topic: Greek language and culture. Classes are divided according to two levels of linguistic competence (Beginners and Advanced). The three-hour language class per week will gradually improve conversational and compositional skills based on a variety of contemporary themes: history and the modern society and contemporary issues in the context of Greek-Australian relations. The one-hour culture lecture and discussion per week is based on a range of Greek or Cypriot cultural and historical issues e.g. Greek Migration to Australia; Journey and Return; Asia Minor; Cyprus History, Culture and Tradition.

The three or four-hour language class for Advanced students is based on contemporary themes and designed to gradually improve skills in sentence structure, paragraph connection and cohesion in expression.
