VOCABULARY HELP TO SUPPORT TEACHERS OF GREEK AS A SECOND/FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Student assessment is initially done in French and is complex.
It includes the preparation of an individual report in French while there is also a group work in the form of focus groups. In addition, there is a group presentation inside the classroom. At the end of the semester, students are required to submit a written assignment on a topic that is listed or agreed upon with the instructor.
Both the communication with the students and the implementation of the courses are implemented with the help of ICT. Among the tools used is the Zoom application for communication outside the course, while the use of YouTube provides relevant audio-visual material. To maintain the interest of the trainees, other applications such as Google Lens and Mentimeter are used.
