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.

The lessons will follow two main thematic strands:(A) The regulatory framework governing the teaching of Greek language and literature in secondary schools;
(B) Methodologies and tools, especially digital ones, useful for developing educational pathways (for themes, literary genres, and historical-cultural contexts); in this context, the reference texts will be Plato's Protagoras and Phaedrus.

An in itinere test is scheduled, the result of which will not influence the final assessment. teacher profile teaching materials
