The Teaching of Greek Language through Opera

Abstract

The script leverages the musical theatrical genre of opera for the teaching of the Greek language. The process emphasizes the exposure to a non-familiar language environment and the approaching of the Greek language from the same starting point. The educational procedure was held at the fourth-grade level with the methodology of remote learning. It focuses on the measurement of the learning outcomes and includes graded activities based on Greek grammar and context comprehension. It, also, brings students in contact with the arts of performance and helps them express their feelings through art. The process enhanced the confidence of the children and helped native students realize the daily difficulties of foreigners.
