The course aims at providing a detailed illustration of the didactics of ancient Greek language and culture. The students, who need to be already familiar with Greek language, will acquire proficiency in terms of theories, concepts, and methods of current didactic approaches to the subject. On the basis of a selection of key texts, the students will be guided so as to develop independently their own thematic itinerary through ancient Greek texts and authors; such itinerary will be designed in function of different didactic strategies or requirements.
