1. RE-DESIGNING A LANGUAGE CURRICULUM
The St Andrews Story

2. 1-Former state of language teaching in STA
Different degrees: Classics, Greek, Latin, etc.
Presence of language in each of them.
Differences in programme for each language.
Too large a jump from grammar to texts.

3. 2-My ideal programme
Elementary Greek

5. Intermediate Greek

7. Advanced Greek

9. 3-Parametres to be kept
Inter-relationship language-literature within the same module.
Prose Composition does not fit into Sub-Honours.

10. 4-Students starting with different language level
First scrutiny: LT 1001/2 - LT 1003/4
Second scrutiny: language reinforcements, both in 1st and 2nd years

11. 5-Main objectives a) External changes
Make undiscussible the condition of “instrumental subject” (“engineerising”?)
Uniformise Latin and Greek:
Equal number of assessed tests
Equal weight of literature content
Equal exams
2nd years: uniformise language reinforcements into a “bridge level”
Introduce Prose Composition

12. b) Internal changes
Internal improvements in each language
Create a programme for language reinforcement (see handout)
Increase the material given “per hour” (“engineerising”?)
Raise exam requirements (“engineerising”?)
