NEW PUBLICATIONS AND CD AVAILABLE FROM THE
GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE DEPARTMENT OF GREEK EDUCATION

New York, NY -- The Department of Greek Education of the Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese of America is pleased to announce the publication of two books,
a student book and a teacher book, which contain a compilation of the
"Comprehensive Examinations in Modern Greek" of the past twelve years
(1991-2002).  The publication of these books was made possible by a grant
from the Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation.

The books include the original tests from 1991 to 2002, over 200
communication tasks for the oral examination of the students, directions
for the administration of both the written and the oral tests, and all
pertinent forms. An Appendix of the most commonly used words, verbs, and
phrases and basic grammar and syntax accompanies the student copy.

The "Comprehensive Examination in Modern Greek" is a foreign language
achievement test that assesses student proficiency in speaking, listening,
reading, and writing. Its proficiency level is equivalent to a third year
level of most foreign language courses and is written in accordance with
the specifications of the New York State Education Department. The material
contained in the new publications is appropriate for teaching Modern Greek
as a second/foreign language to students in higher grades.

The new publications are offered free of charge to the students of
parochial and public schools who are preparing for the Comprehensive
Examination in Modern Greek in the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) to receive
credits in a foreign language. All other community schools are entitled to
one set upon request.

The "Listening Parts" Recorded on 6 CDs
In addition to the books, the Archdiocesan Department of Greek Education
has made available the Listening Parts of each Comprehensive Examination in
Modern Greek (two examinations per CD).  These CDs may be used for home
study by individual students and by teachers in their classrooms. Although
the books are offered gratis, the six CDs are sold for the price of  $25
per set, which includes postage and handling. For more information or to
order the books and CDs please call the Department of Greek Education at
212-570-3552.
