It is important to us that we align our practice to the Alberta Education Greek Language and Culture Twelve – year program. We will also be aiming for language competency based on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference ) for A1 and A2 which aligns very well with the Alberta curriculum. Basing our instruction on these outcomes, holds us accountable towards our students and you, the parents.
Inquiry based, thematically oriented language instruction through our rich culture will drive our learning. All students will learn about cultural topics according to level. Each month has a unique theme that all classes will cover in their lessons.
“There is plenty of evidence to suggest that learning another language contributes to the development of first language skills and enhances not only vocabulary but improves cognitive functioning.”
