According to a circular by the Greek Ministry of Education and Religion, all language teachers of primary and secondary education are entitled to teach Greek as a Foreign/ Second Language. Those teachers, in case they are also specialized in teaching Greek as a foreign language, could work either in private language centres such as the Hellenic Culture Centre or in various Vocational Training Centres, in Second Chance Schools, in Adult Education Centres, in Universities' language classes, or in other language programmes organized by various organizations (Local Authorities, IDEKE, GSAE, OAED, etc).
Many NGOs have contributed in organizing language programmes mainly intended for immigrants and refugees , but a teacher could work there primarily as a volunteer.

ONLINE GREEK LANGUAGE COURSES BY THE HELLENIC CULTURE CENTRE
The Hellenic Culture Centre is the first Training Centre to offer Online Greek Language Courses at all levels of instruction. The Online Programme, which began in 2009, now offers:
All language teachers at the Hellenic Culture Centre are certified and experienced in teaching Greek as a second and as a foreign language to adults and adolescents. They also have experience in online teaching and they are native speakers of Greek.
Courses are held through the online educational platform Moodle and the educational platform GLOSSA, where all relevant learning materials are uploaded (texts, listening exercises, and activities for all language skills, photos, library, Forum, links to dictionaries, and to videos) as well as through synchronous Skype meetings, once or twice a week. During the synchronous meeting with the teacher, students practice speaking, the teacher explains, corrects, and organises their work. Throughout the week the students study on the platform: they can read and listen to texts, play educational language games, do grammar exercises, practice speaking by recording their voice through the platform, do their writings tasks, and send all to their teacher, who corrects within 48 hours at the latest.
No special knowledge on technology is required, however, a 15-min introductory session is offered for free, if needed, in order for the students to familiarize themselves with the use of the Moodle or the Glossa platforms and Skype. Students are required to have a good internet connection and a headset with a microphone.
Before registering students have to do a grading test, in order for the tutors to check students’ language level and educational needs. Ask us to guide you to the test suitable for you. You may also do the test orally, through Skype: the Director of the Centre will call you in order to define your language level and design your learning path, according to your learning objectives.
Start dates of the 8-week cycles group and semi-private courses for the 2020-2021-2022 academic years:

The Hellenic Culture Centre, with its experienced staff in organizing education and cultural activities, supports the Greek language programme by language teachers specialized in teaching Greek as a foreign language and the intercultural education seminars by facilitators experienced in working with young people.
The programme is being organized all year round upon request and contact with groups of volunteers or/ and University students and could be held at the NGO offices as well.

Ταχύρρυθμα σεμινάρια για έλληνες ενηλίκους φυσικούς ομιλητές και

Το Κέντρο Ελληνικού Πολιτισμού αναλαμβάνει την υποστήριξη της γλωσσικής έκφρασης ενηλίκων φυσικών ομιλητών της ελληνικής και δίγλωσσων ελλήνων του εξωτερικού. Μέσα από μία σειρά ασκήσεων και στις τέσσερις γλωσσικές δεξιότητες (παραγωγή γραπτού λόγου, παραγωγή προφορικού λόγου, κατανόηση γραπτού λόγου, κατανόηση προφορικού λόγου) ο ενήλικος σπουδαστής επιτυγχάνει να χρησιμοποιεί τις πιο κατάλληλες γλωσσικές δομές και να εκφράζεται γραπτώς και προφορικώς ανάλογα με την επικοινωνιακή περίσταση.
Το ειδικό αυτό πρόγραμμα απευθύνεται
• Σε επαγγελματίες φυσικούς ομιλητές οι οποίοι εργάζονται με τα ελληνικά (γραμματείς, πολιτικούς, συγγραφείς, στελέχη πολυεθνικών επιχειρήσεων κ.α.)
• Σε δίγλωσσους ομογενείς του εξωτερικού οι οποίοι έχουν την ελληνική ως Δεύτερη Γλώσσα

• Σε αποφοίτους Λυκείου του εξωτερικού οι οποίοι θα ήθελαν να προετοιμαστούν για τις κρατικές εξετάσεις ελληνομάθειας
Τα μαθήματα είναι συνήθως ιδιαίτερα και βασίζονται στο προσωπικό πρόγραμμα το οποίο δημιουργείται εμπιστευτικά για τον κάθε ενήλικο ξεχωριστά. Οι στόχοι τίθενται από κοινού με τον ενήλικο σπουδαστή και οι ώρες και ημέρες σεμιναρίων ή/ και εργασίας στο σπίτι συμφωνούνται με βάση το προσωπικό του πρόγραμμα οικογενειακών ή επαγγελματικών υποχρεώσεων.
Τα σεμινάρια γίνονται είτε στο γραφείο και στο σπίτι του σπουδαστή είτε στα γραφεία του Κέντρου Ελληνικού Πολιτισμού.

TEACHING MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY
The Centre''s faculty has produced original teaching materials for all our language programmes. These consist of texts, a collection of original visual materials (photos, videos, cassettes, CDs) and a collection of language games. Teaching materials are based on ideas formulated on teaching in the classroom and are being constantly improved according to their systematic application by our teachers. These materials are also used with large groups in consistence with the principles of individualized teaching. Theyincludealternativetextsandexercisesfor usein mixed-abilities classes and in multilingual-multinational classes.
The aim of our courses is to practice all language skills (oral and written speech production and comprehension). We particularly stress the use of language games and of communicative exercises through which grammar and structure can be effectively learnt.
