Overall Goal of Gymnasium and Lykeion English Program
To graduate students whose level of English will enable them to pursue
undergraduate degrees at English-speaking universities abroad.
Theoretical Framework of English Teaching in the Lykeion
1. The Teaching for Understanding Framework of the Harvard Graduate School
of Education
Teaching practices tend to reflect the Teaching for Understanding framework set
out by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Most English teachers
have been introduced to the Harvard TfU program.
Teaching for Understanding embraces the following principles:
- Clearly defined goals, on-going assessment of those goals, alternative forms of
assessment (e.g. rubrics, portfolios and multiple measures), emphasis on
understandig
- Promotion of life-long learning skills: critical thinking, ability of students
to work independently, the fostering of individual interests
- Student-centerd learning through project work, group work, use of new
technologies
2. The European Dimension to English Teaching (The Common European Framework)
Our syllabi have been revised to make our curriculum more student-centered and
interdisciplinary. Our intergrated approach to the learning of English
encourages inquiry and collaboration and fosters critical thinking skills.
Programs Taught
ENL (English as a Native Language): these programs are designed for
students who have a native or near-native level of English proficiency.
ESL (English as a Second Language): these programs are designed for
students who function in English with a commendable level of fluency in English
but sometimes at the expense of accuracy. These studens have often had exposure
to native language outside the school environment.
EFL (English as a Foreign Language): these programs are designed
for students who still need structured, sequentially organized instruction in
the language. Their proficiency in English reflects what they have been taught
in the classroom.
