38th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS
The Department of Linguistics, School of Philology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, is pleased to announce its 38th Annual Meeting to be held in Thessaloniki on April 28, 2017. This year’s Meeting focuses on
Ancient Greek, Modern Greek and education
Despite the heated debate over the relation between the Ancient and Modern Greek language and education, the topic has not yet been adequately discussed on a constructive, scientifically-grounded basis. To this end, the Department of Linguistics has decided to accommodate such a discussion into its 38th Annual Meeting. We welcome abstracts which cover all of the above areas (Ancient Greek, Modern Greek, and education) and address issues such as the following:
- Linguistic approaches to the relation between the (Ancient and Modern) Greek language and education.
- Theoretical issues regarding the continuity of Ancient and Modern Greek and its implications for education.
- Ideological dimensions regarding the teaching of Ancient and Modern Greek.
- Pedagogical perspectives on the teaching of Ancient and Modern Greek.
- Historical aspects.
- Previous work and new challenges for the teaching of Ancient and Modern Greek.
- Political approaches to the teaching of Ancient and Modern Greek.
- Research, in a classroom setting, with respect to the teaching of Ancient and Modern Greek.
