Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
The student must possess fundamental knowledge from the following courses: "Ancient Greek," "History of the Ancient Greek Language," "Greek Hermeneutics," and "Historical Dialectology of Ancient Greek." The program is specifically designed for students who have no prior experience studying Modern Greek.
Course content
The core of the course consists of a theoretical and practical examination of the phonetic, morphological, and syntactic structures of the Modern Greek language from a functional perspective. The grammar and phonetics components are taught in close connection with vocabulary and are structured concentrically. The Modern Greek language system is presented comprehensively: all aspects of the language are studied in parallel with the development of speech skills and abilities. Mastery of the language structure occurs within typical communicative contexts and across the primary modes of language activity (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). The course is divided into three substantive parts: 1) Reading and writing, and pronunciation training; 2) Active vocabulary acquisition and mastery of basic grammar; 3) Correct language usage in various communicative situations.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Oral response; written work (exercises, test, vocabulary dictation, reproduction); creative or research assignment in the form of a presentation (preparation and defense); final control paper.
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment is conducted on a 100-point scale (with a minimum of 60 points required for a passing grade). The evaluation criteria encompass oral responses, written assignments (exercises, dictations, tests), the preparation and defense of presentations, and a final control paper. The maximum score is awarded for fluent and reasoned mastery of the material, the use of both mandatory and supplementary literature, profound topic coverage, and a high technical standard of execution. Lower scores reflect insufficient argumentation, inaccuracies, or a lack of independent research. Test assignments are considered passed if more than 60% of the tasks are completed correctly. The final grade is the sum of points earned for both in-class and independent activities, including the final control paper (consisting of both tests and open-ended questions). Intermediate control is granted automatically based on systematic performance throughout the term without additional procedures.
