A new online learning (e-class) will make it even easier for overseas Cypriots to learn Modern Greek, the most commonly spoken language in Cyprus, from wherever they are in the world. The new e-class is set to be launched in London on Thursday 1 November at 7:45pm at the headquarters of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, Britannia Road, Finchley, London N12 9RU.
Presidential Commissioner, Mr Photis Photiou, will be the special guest as the Open University of Cyprus presents this new course to members of the UK Cypriot community.
The Rector of the Open University of Cyprus, Mr Sokratis Katsikas, and the Head of Student Welfare Services of the Open University of Cyprus, Ms Elena Gregoriou, will be presenting further information and details about the course in English. The presentation is being held in collaboration with the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK and NEPOMAK.
Course details
The Open University of Cyprus’ new course features authentic texts and exercises, as well as new vocabulary and examples of everyday situations that use the recently learned language. The e-class will also help with the phonological, morphological and syntactic aspects of the Modern Greek language such as pronunciation, derivation, declension and compounding.
Students will be able to study Modern Greek at one of four levels depending on the individual’s prior knowledge of the language. The beginner level teaches very basic communication skills including introducing yourself, meeting people and giving directions whilst the most advanced level teaches the comprehension of complex texts as well as how to write and construct these yourself. Students will be placed in the class that reflects their knowledge of Modern Greek to ensure that they receive the most beneficial classes. A certificate is awarded upon completion of the class.
More information and details about the course will be presented at the launch event on Thursday 1 November at 7:45pm.
