Beginning Modern Greek I is designed for students with little or no previous instruction in Modern Greek. Our goal in this intensive class is to achieve Novice Mid proficiency in Modern Greek (by ACTFL standards) through cumulative acquisition of speaking, listening and writing skills (see also 7. Course Learning Objectives). Instruction consists of a 3-hour per day master class studying elementary aspects of the modern Greek language based on introductory readings (focusing on grammar and syntax as well as conversation and translation) and of a 3-hour per day language lab session practicing the newly acquired material. The course offers 6 credits toward graduation and requires a minimum of 3 hours of study per day. The material to be covered includes Units 1-4 of the textbook (see also 4. Required Texts below) as well as a wide variety of excerpts from modern Greek poetry, prose, and songs. Reading practice and grammar drills will focus on daily conversations and basic texts; all class material will be available in print and online. As this is an immersion class, the use of English will be limited to grammar presentations and translation exercises.
