Subject: [MGSA-L] supplementary Modern Greek Story Reader available
for use without cost
To: "MGSA-L(a)uci.edu" <MGSA-L(a)uci.edu>
Dear Fellow Teachers of the Greek Language,
some of you learned last year that I had been given funds by an
anonymous donor in Greece to develop a book to support the teaching of
Modern Greek in an English context. Seven winning stories from an
internet story contest were selected, put into order of difficulty,
and glossed into English. The result circulated in a number of copies
a year ago. With feedback on that test reader, a final edition is now
available. Because of the original grant, copies of this book are
being made available *at no cost* to any individual trying to learn
Modern Greek or to the students of any teacher of Modern Greek.
Please send a message to
irene.kacandes(a)dartmouth.edu
with GREEK READER REQUEST
in the subject line
In the body of the email please write the number of copies you are
requesting, your name, and a FAILPROOF regular (snail) mail address to
send the order to.
I will fulfill requests until the book/money is gone. (Cost of
handling and shipping within North American is also being paid by the
original grant. If you have requests for books to be shipped outside
North American, please free feel to send them on, but they will be
handled after North American requests; sorry about that, but it's just
a matter of lack of staff at the moment to handle those requests. )
So all you need to do is let me know how many copies you can use and
promise to also pass on the book free of charge.
There are no strings attached to this offer. I would be delighted,
though, and it would be in the spirit of the original grant, if
teachers who use the book compare notes about how they used it and
swap any exercises they create to go along with the reader.
With best regards,
Irene Kacandes
