Με αφορμή μια ανέκδοτη επιστολή του Γ. Κ. Κατσίμπαλη προς το Γ. Ζερβό: Παλαμάς versus Σολωμός

Please note: This article is in Greek. From the personal archives of the Kalymnian writer Yiannis Zervos, we present an unpublished letter dated 1929 of the well-known critic Katsibalis. In this letter Katsibalis criticizes the work of Solomos, the poems of Zervos and other well known critics of the 20th Century. In this paper we analyse Katsibalis’ letter with respect to the critique of the poet Yiannis Zervos. It was evident in the letter that Katsibalis believed that Zervos possessed the literary potential to revolutionarise Greek poetry. Katsibalis attempts to persuade Zervos to follow in the steps of Palamas and not Solomos. We place this preference within the aesthetic, artistic and literary canon of “alithophaneia” which although had its genesis between 1850 and 1880 still continued to infl uence the Greek critics of the first half of the 20th Century. The correspondence of the above mentioned writers ceased suddenly in 1932, two years after the publication of Serefi s’ “Strofi ” where Katsibalis realised that the revoluntionary change to Greek literature was brought about by the collection of poems in Seferis’ work entitled “Strofi ”

Μεταπτυχιακό Δίπλωμα Διδασκαλίας Ελληνικής Γλώσσας

Please note: this article is in Greek. A collaborative project Flinders University – Charles Darwin University: In this paper the “Collaborative project Flinders University – Charles Darwin University” is described, analysed and evaluated. The unique character of the GDLT in Modern Greek at CDU relies on a consortium of partners: institutional, governmental (NT and Greek government) and community-based, consisting of the Northern Territory Department of Employment, Education & Training, the Consular representative from the Greek Ministry of Education, primary and secondary school principals, members of the Greek community in Darwin and prospective students. The Graduate Diploma in Language Teaching (GDLT) is a full fee-paying course taught via internal and external delivery modes in metropolitan Adelaide, the rural sector and interstate and is aimed at qualified primary and lower secondary (middle school) teachers who wish to acquire a second language in order to include a LOTE (Language Other Than English) in their teaching portfolio. The GDLT’s dual focus on the acquisition of proficiency in a second language and language instruction methodology provides a unique, flexible teacher-training program. The course is aimed at beginner’s levels but can accommodate more advanced proficiency levels for qualified teachers seeking language proficiency in Greek, together with basic principles of LOTE learning and teaching. The “methodology” module comprises language teaching and learning theory, language methodologies and classroom-based research

The Views of Greek Primary School Teachers about Children’s Literature

This study investigates the views of Greek primary education teachers regarding children’s literature, their contribution to fostering their pupils’ love of reading, and the help they provide their pupils in understanding texts. We investigate what teachers believe children’s/young adults’ literature to be, how many are interested in it and how many attempt to transmit their love of reading to their students. These attitudes are investigated in correlation to the teachers’ education, age, social features, gender and years of teaching experience. In addition, teachers’ perceptions of their students’ opinions of children’s literature are explored and the degree to which they believe the students to be interested in it. Finally, this research also attempts to chart teachers’ reading preferences
