LANG 142
Spring 2025
| Section:
01
|
The course builds upon the language skills acquired in LANG 141. Students learn how to count, tell time, and give directions in Greek; compose short descriptive essays in the target language; and translate passages into English. Student-led conversation hours outside of class provide further opportunity to practice speaking and to explore interests such as Greek music, social media, and travel. In class, we also examine historical and cultural topics including life in contemporary Athens, the Greek War of Independence, and the story behind the modern revival of the Olympic Games. |
