Learning, Teaching and Learning to Teach in Greek as Foreign/Second Language: Evidence from different learning contexts (LETEGR2)

The purpose of the LETEGR2 research project (2018-2022) was to shed light on the way Greek is learned and taught in different learning contexts (second and foreign language context), as well as to identify good teaching practices that could potentially facilitate the teaching of Greek in each of these contexts. Nowadays, given the fact that there is a growing need for learning Greek as Second Language (SL) /Foreign Language (FL), firstly, examining how Greek can be taught in a more efficient way for different target groups of learners and, secondly, adequately training and certifying teachers of Greek are issues of great importance for our community. In order to address these issues, the current project set three interrelated and complementary studies. The three studies were meant to approach the area of Modern Greek as a SL/FL from different perspectives and also to do so by taking into account all the parties implied in the learning process.

The LETEGR2 project was funded by the General Secretariat of Research and Innovation (GSRI) and by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI). The Host Institutions for the LETEGR2 project were the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and the Modern Greek Language Teaching Center.
