Nationwide workshop prepares students and teachers for Greek Language Certification

·

An online professional development workshop was recently held for Greek language teachers, students preparing for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek, and their parents. 

The event was co-organised by the Macquarie University Greek Language Examination Centre and the Sydney Institute for Community Language Education (SICLE) at the University of Sydney.

Held as part of an annual initiative, the workshop aimed to provide essential training, guidance, and resources to educators, exam candidates, and their families in preparation for the upcoming Greek language exams in May. 

More than 60 participants from across Australia joined the online session, reflecting the strong national interest in Greek language learning and certification.

Dr Patricia Koromvokis, Head of the Greek Language Examination Centre and Lecturer in Global Cultures and Languages in the School of International Studies at Macquarie University, delivered a thorough and insightful presentation.

She focused on effective preparation strategies and the structure and style of the exams, providing valuable guidance for both teachers and students. 

Dr Koromvokis was joined by Ms Tserentzoulia, Assistant at the Greek Examination Centre, and Mr Dagopoulos, representative of the Centre for the Greek Language in Thessaloniki, who also contributed to the discussion and responded to questions from participants. Katerina Vetsikas, Project Officer (Greek Curriculum) of the Sydney Institute for Community Languages Education (SICLE) coordinated the workshop. 

This year, Macquarie University will host the Certificate of Attainment in Greek exams from 20 – 22 May 2025. As the largest examination centre in the Southern Hemisphere for this certificate, Macquarie will welcome over 100 candidates—a record number.
