104-111 MODERN GREEK PART 1
A course of two literary lectures, one literary tutorial and one language class per week.
The course presupposes a level of linguistic competence and literacy equivalent to a pass at H.S.C., and students seeking admission to the course must either have attained this or have displayed a high degree of competence in the department's Advanced (Literary) Summer School and the ensuing examination.
SUMMER SCHOOLS
The department proposes to mount two Summer Schools in February/
March, 1977. The first, an intensive basic course in the language for complete beginners; the second, an advanced language and basic litera- ture course (centred on textual analysis), assumes a basic working knowledge of Modern Greek. It is anticipated that some students enrolled in the second (Advanced) Summer School may wish subse- quently to pursue the Modern Greek part 1 course: selection for admis- sion to the part 1 course will be based on performance in a departmental examination conducted in early March.
Details of both Summer Schools will be available on request from the department from December.
It is hoped that the two Summer Schools will be held in sequence, making it possible for a student of proven linguistic ability but with no previous knowledge of Modern Greek, to be admitted to the part 1 course after successfully negotiating both Summer Schools and the departmental examination.
