The Hellenic Language School
The School “Alexander the Great” was founded in Athens in 1972, having as an initial aim to teach the Greek language to foreigners who wanted to study in DELTA College. In this respect, it is probably the first school for the teaching of Greek language to foreigners.
The Central School in Athens
The Central school is situated in Athens, the capital of Greece, a city with almost 6.000.000 inhabitants. The School is in the city centre, next to the Archaelogical Museum, 50 metres from the park “Pedio tou Areos”, 200 metres from the Underground station and next to many bus and trolleybus terminals.
Life at school
The educational programme is not restricted in usual lessons. There are also projects, individual or in groups, presentations about music, literature, mythology, history, Greek films, museum visits and evening walks at the city for dinner.
Educational Material
Our School, because of its constant involvement in teaching Greek as a foreign language, is also occupied with the production of educational material in printed form, in the form of educational software (multimedia cd, suitable for self-teaching) and in the Internet as well.
Aim – Method of teaching
The program of the Greek Language School “Alexander the Great” is based on the communicative approach of teaching a language. “To communicate” is to be able to use the language as a tool for inter-personal communication in a particular social environment, which is defined by relevant situations, the topic, the roles of the interlocutors
