Objectives

• Understanding of any Ancient Greek text, even of high difficulty, without using the dictionary
• In-depth knowledge of all the most complex structures of Greek syntax and Classical literary style
• Knowledge of the 2500 most frequent words in Greek classical literature
• Ability to write and speak in Ancient Greek
• Understanding of the basic techniques for teaching a lesson of Greek language through the inductive-contextual methodology.

Program

The course fulfills and completes the study of Greek grammar and phraseology started in the course Ancient Greek 1. Through the reading of texts in Ancient Greek, which are designed to encourage language learning, students deal with the most complex issues of Classic Greek syntax and phraseology.
Lessons will be held completely in Ancient Greek: following the fundamentals of the inductive-contextual methodology, the active use of Greek language both by the students and the teacher turns passive learning into an active competence, thus ensuring a sound knowledge of the language.
The course will be held in classroom. Upon request at the moment of the enrollment, the course may be also attended online. The IISC will provide students a link to access the virtual classroom and attend the course via live streaming. Lessons in streaming will be recorded and they will stay available for the students to see for a week.
At the end of the course, students will go on a 2 days field-trip, where Ancient Greek will be the only language of communication: there will be reading of classical texts, lessons and visits to archeological sites.
