Teaching Objectives By Level
B2 - Good Knowledge
At level B2 the candidate has a greater ability to produce and understand the Greek language compared to the previous level and uses a fairly good level of language according to the common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The user's communication level can cope with situations of moderate difficulty and vocabulary and grammar are understood more easily than before.
In comprehension of spoken language the candidate has the ability to understand extensive texts of spoken language and to follow topics of different cases. To understand them they need to be produced in a normal rhythm of speech and the understanding must be possible even if they are produced in a somewhat noisier environment or with some sound interference.
In comprehension of written language the candidate is asked to respond to texts that he can understand - depending on the text - other times the essence and other times even details. Having more confidence in his knowledge, the candidate moves more comfortably in the four cognitive processes. Now, depending on the source given to him, he can recognize the type of vocabulary he should expect, formal or informal.
In the production of written speech there must be the possibility of producing descriptions or narrations of situations in a clear and comprehensible way. He must know how to stand for or against an issue with simple and well-structured arguments.
In the production of oral speech, the possibility of communication is acquired, showing personal views and ideas on various topics. Of course, the speech does not flow effortlessly, but now there is a more natural speech and quite good argumentation. Based on the vocabulary and grammar that the candidate knows when completing this level, he is able to communicate in Greek in various situations.
Certification of Proficiency in Greek
In the USA, the Greek language certificate at KEG is directly related to the Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal of Biliteracy is a type of award given by an Education District, a State, and sometimes a school to U.S. public high school students who have achieved a high level of proficiency in one or more languages, in addition to English, upon graduation. It is usually printed in the form of a stamp on the diploma and as a special note on the detailed grade form, which indicates that the student has acquired communication skills in a foreign language.
For admission to public Colleges and Universities but also for the employer looking for staff, the Seal of Biliteracy is a proof of the candidate's language skills and gives him a significant advantage in the academic and professional field, compared to his fellow candidates. Please note that in the USA, because of course each State has its own Board Of Education, the advantages of the Stamp may differ from one State to another.
Greek Proficiency Certification has been included in the Seal of Biliteracy program in the following States
- In the State of Illinois
- In the State of Maryland
