THE ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNERS (PEAP) PROGRAMME IN GREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL
The plan to implement the ‘all-day school idea with its enriched curriculum in all primary schools of the country has not yet been realized, due to the economic crisis that has hit Greece quite severely since However, the English for Young Learners programme that concerns English language learning in the first and second grade of Greek state primary schools has become very popular and there is social demand for its expansion.

The curriculum
The curriculum is based on three fundamental principles:
1. It views pupils as learners with an emerging school literacy in their mother tongue and aims to help them develop in and through English those social literacies that they have already developed in their mother tongue.
2. It makes provisions for differentiated instruction, i.e., its curricular materials have been designed by taking into account the fact that individual pupils have different interests, preferences and learning styles, and that the pupil population of different schools has different types of social experiences and needs.
3. From a language learning point of view, the PEAP curriculum is aimed at developing a pre-A1 level ability to understand and use spoken language.
