GREA CRCU 111 - Greek Key Cultural Landscape

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

The Greek Key Seminar is the 2-credit culture learning component of the larger and mandatory Language in a Cultural Landscape. This course includes community-based learning, volunteering or directed field study, and the completion of a Greek Key Project. Perhaps you can anticipate some of the new things you will experience in Athens and Greece: a foreign language in a new alphabet, new foods, a new city. But what about the ones you cannot anticipate, things like eye contact and body language, holidays, the way one argues, the rules of hospitality, the importance of coffee in the lives of most Greeks? The Greek Key Seminar will help you to unlock the door to cross cultural understanding. It will provide the structure to explore Greek culture in an in-depth way while helping you to acquire new and necessary learning techniques and survival strategies. The Greek Key Seminar will involve you in community-based learning as you engage in directed field exploration or volunteer in a local organization.
