A well-structured and interesting course can ensure successful results in short time. My teaching method involves a viable, personalised learning process through which students get fully conscious of their language use and are able to understand and use it effectively while communicating. Teaching is effected in accordance with the students’ individual learning style, rythm and needs. I expose my students to real-life Greek language use, both orally and in writing, and every teaching unit is followed by a vocabulary and grammar review so that any knowledge gained progressively is consolidated. Also, specialised terminology can also be taught at will. I strongly believe that the particular course enables my students to feel the magic of the Greek language and use it successfully in real, everyday communicative circumstances avoiding them to learn it in a technical environment where aknowledge is gained mechanically. Program Description The teaching program is organised in five levels which are combined between them. These levels are the follow: 1)spelling 2)grammar 3)syntax 4)vocabulary 5)conversation. The activities that are included in this program conclude at first exercices in order the students to understand but also to practice the knowledge that is presented to them as well as reading and interpretating texts while peculiar emphasis is given on dialogue and discourse exercices.When students are capable, they can start synthesising sentences and after gradually paragraphs and small texts. Students will also be given extra marerial for homework which will include texts and dialogue texts as well as notice/comments on everything they have learnt which can help them correct their mistakes and improve their progress so as to comprehend completely and learn Greek. Teaching Experience I have teached Greek language at two children at the age of 11 and 13 who were students at primary and secondary school for two years as a teacher of Greek philology.I also have teached Greek language at two groups of adults from other countries in a center of teaching of Greek language for one year. I am experienced at the procedure and methods of teaching Greek language and I know well the difficulties and the failures students most of the times face in their effort to learn writing and speaking Greek language as well as to conversate by using it. Teacher Training I am graduate of the department of Classical Philology of the University of Athens. I have followed special lessons of teaching Greek language and philology which included awareness of ways and methods of teaching,exercices and works on the teaching procedure as well as practical training of teaching Greek philology at schools.The training endured two years.I have also followed special lessons of teahing by use of technology and computers and I am practiced at the use of computing programs and special educational logismics for the teaching of Greek language. Additionally, I have Certification of Proficiency of Michigan in English language which is the upper level of learning and also I know computers and I can use well all the computing programs as I have the Certification of ECDL.
