"In the last issue of our magazine we described the European language project Greek as a Vehicle for Promoting Linguistic Diversity and reported on the preparation of the course e-learning.

The pilot began in December 2011 and will end in May 2012. The courses consist of five sections for each level, each on a specific topic. The modules have a unified structure on the four skills of language knowledge. The courses include tests tailored to the specifications of the certification exam in Greek. Participating students come from various countries (including South Africa or Australia, as well as postgraduate and doctoral students of Modern Greek Studies of Masaryk University in Brno) and working groups that have available a consultant teacher. Professor corrects student papers and schedules Skype meetings. So far there is a positive response from the students.

As part of the pilot program, it was implemented an evaluation by the teachers who were given access to a unit, and were asked to evaluate the methodology for developing online content and higher levels of professional profiles. The aim is to ensure the sustainability of the program after the formal completion which will be held in October 2012 in Brussels."
