Also, if a teacher wanted to get really good at asking questions of all kinds in Greek, are there good materials to teach that skill?
What materials would you recommend?RandallButh wrote:it sounds like you are putting off work on fluency, automaticity, and internalization until a "third year." Maybe we've discussed this already.
Most successful modern language programs would reverse this order.
There are materials available that allow a first, small fluent base to be built. I would recommend at least some true fluency-work over "Mounce," or at least as parallel to a grammar-translation approach to the language so that students can start to experience what it might be like to function in the language.
