Content

This unit takes up the study of the language from CLAN2201 Greek 1, which is a prerequisite for it. Students continue to read Koine texts (the 'common' form of the language introduced in the first unit) and through graded exercises extend their knowledge of Ancient Greek vocabulary and grammar. In particular, the unit concentrates on the syntax, or sentence construction, of the language, since much of the morphology, the changing forms of individual words, has been covered in CLAN2201 Greek 1.

Outcomes

Students are able to (1) recognise and describe the forms and functions of a greater variety of Greek nouns, adjectives, pronouns and verbs; (2) demonstrate understanding of more complex Greek sentence structure (syntax); (3) translate from Greek, without the aid of dictionaries, more complex passages composed of a larger set vocabulary; (4) compose more complex Greek sentences from a larger set vocabulary; and (5) use correct grammatical, especially syntactical, terminology in the analysis of Greek words and sentences.

Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) class tests and (2) an end-of-semester examination. Further information is available in the unit outline.
