Modern Greek Tuition Courses

The centre co-ordinates programs for foreign students with emphasis on Modern Greek Studies.
These programs are held in co-operation with foreign universitieswho wish to send groups of students for intensive courses of 2 or 3 weeks. These courses are usually held between May and September each year.
Dates are arranged with the interested Universities and/or schoolsand levels will be defined by us in co-operation with the interested Universities and schools or by placement test which will be held on the first day of arrival.
Prices are available on demand and depend on the time of year and the requirements of each interested institution.

Modern Greek Study Program

The Study Program
The centre offers modern Greek courses at five levels of competency. Courses are offered throughout the year (October to May) in both regular and intensive schedules. Each course covers approximately 80 hours of instruction over a eight or fourteen week period, with lessons being held three or five times a week.

All our students are given the opportunity to obtain official recognition of their level of language competency by sitting for the European Consortium Examination for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Greek. This is available in four levels of proficiency and has been developed by a consortium of European Universities, with the University of Thessaloniki being a participating member.

Faculty
All our instructors are graduates of Greek Universities and hold not only a BA in Greek Language and Literature, but have also done post graduate work in the teaching of Greek as a foreign language.

General Information
There are no requirements as to the minimum number of students in each class, however, class size is kept small so that students have ample opportunity to receive help from the instructor, thus maximizing their opportunities for interaction and learning. Lessons are held on all days scheduled (Monday to Friday) except on public holidays and Christmas and Easter school holidays.
