Learning outcomes
Learning of a Greek basic vocabulary and of fundamental notions of the Greek grammar.
Content
This course concernes the beginners or the students having made an incomplete program in the Secondary, already familiarized with the Latin (namely historians and archaeologists of the Antiquity, ...), whom he has to give the learning of the basic vocabulary and the notions of morphology (declensions, conjugations) indispensable to the reading of a text in classic Greek. In order to fix durably the experiences, recapitulative questioning are imposed, to prepare actively the final evaluation. The practical skills are more important than the return of the theoretical aspects.
Teaching methods
Successive lessons allow to introduce new theoretical elements, by illustrating them by example attested in authentic sentences. Are added some exercises of morphology and translation made in class by the students. The progress in the learning of the declensions and the conjugations is made in parallel, and ends at the end of the year in the translation of small mythological texts. A list of vocabulary is supplied.
Evaluations
The final quotation concerns for 75 % the quotation attributed on examination of June or September, and for 25 % the quotation given to the daily work (questioning in the course of the year).
