Advanced Modern Greek II

Catalog description

This course expands and deepens the knowledge of the Greek language through a selection of texts and documentaries of contemporary Greek artists on a specific topic (subject to change every semester). Through a selection of current events articles and contemporary Greek texts, students will explore and discuss ancient and modern Greece through landscapes, literature, and art, while further enriching and improving their vocabulary skills and speaking proficiency. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of the language and style used by the writers in order to help students develop their reading comprehension and written expression. The course project will be a collaborative work to create a network of interviews with native speakers from different locations in Greece to learn about the history, traditions, language, and stories of the people. Throughout the semester students will also work on mapping narratives.
