Abstract

Alexandros Haidas, Ioannis Karras, Julia Athena SpinthourakisPlease note: this article is written in Greek. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a case study conducted to identify the educational/training needs of primary school teachers teaching Greek as a foreign/second language (GFL/GSL). We focus on the use of computer aided language learning and other technologies. The findings of this study revealed the lack of training teachers have in the aforementioned area. The training programme that has been created to cover these needs is based on both a distance learning format and in-house seminars. The goal of the training programme is to equip teachers with the necessary tools and skills, both theoretical and practical, so as to more effectively teach GFL/GSL. The programme endeavours to cover the needs of all involved (pre-service, in-service teachers and postgraduate students)
