Conference «YOU SPEAK GREEK ALREADY» - Invitation
The Greek Language School «Alexander the Great», which is a Department off the BRITISH HELLENIC COLLEGE, organizes a Conference with subject «You Speak Greek Already» in cooperation with the Organization for the Dissemination of the Greek Language (ODEG). The Conference will be held in Athens on 20 and 21 November 2009.
The main objective of the Conference is to present the results and the key findings of the research which has been conducted, during the preparation of the educational material (book, Multimedia CD, website) «You Speak Greek Already», under the European Project LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME - KA2 LANGUAGES.
The institutions involved in the implementation of the project are:European Centre for Education and Development (Bulgaria)

Universidad de Murcia (Spain)
Greek Community in Latvia «Patrida» (Latvia)
Agenzia per il patrimonio culturale Euromediterraneo (Italy)
ELEA LTD Computer Systems (Greece)
The educational material concerns the teaching of Greek as a second or foreign language. Its composition and structure is based on the existence of many Greek words (or words with Greek origin) in different European languages, which is not only encouraging, but also motivates those who wish to learn the Greek language.
At the same time, the participants will have the opportunity to present similar essays, thoughts or proposals. What is essentially interested is not whether Greek language has influenced the others but how this reality can be used as a basis for the teaching of Greek language.
Those wishing to participate should send the title of their abstracts and a summary (10-15 lines) via e-mail at [email protected] up to 15/09/2009.
They should also send their contact details (name, surname, occupation, address and telephone numbers for communication).
