Greek Elementary Pupils to Learn Second Foreign Language
摘要
希臘的小學學童除了學習本國的希臘語外,已在學校課程中學習英文
。然而,希臘教育部將進一步要求五年級生學習第二外國語,這項措
施會在下學年度開始實施,學生可以在德文和法文中任選其一。第二
外國語課程目前不是學生的必修課程,不過,到了初中,就會被列為
必修課程中了。
駐華盛頓希臘大使館教育部門的外交官塔羅西表示,從某個角度來看
,希臘政府趕上了許多家長的腳步,這些家長以一己之力將孩子送到
私立的外國語言學習中心學習第二外國語。
希臘某些教育團體卻質疑課程是否能符合實際需要。他們表示,即使
是第一外語英語的教學,都對讓孩子精通這項語言沒有幫助,更遑論
第二外國語。(資料來源/教育週刊)

Elementary school children in Greece are already expected to learn English in
addition to their native language. But starting next school year, the
Ministry of Education will begin requiring 5th graders to learn a second
foreign language. Students will be given a choice of French or German.A
second foreign language currently is not required for students until they
attend junior high school, or gym-nasio.In some ways, the government is
catching up with a practice that many parents have initiated on their own by
sending their chil-dren to private foreign-language "learning centers," says
Evangelia Ntalosi, who works in the education office of the Greek Embassy in
Washington.
Some education groups in the country, however, are questioning whether the
public schools will be able to meet the requirement. And they say that
instruction in English is inadequate for children to be-come proficient in
even one foreign language.
