Necessity
|
The preservation and the development of the Greek language to Greekimmigrants, are at a crucial point today, as school age people are nowimmigrants of the third generation. This fact implies that in the bestcase, these people are bilingual - with the language of the reception countrybeing the first language - and in many cases monolingual, speaking onlythe language of the reception country. The last case applies particularlyto children from mixed marriages. |
The necessity of the active participation of Greece as a metropolitancenter is, therefore, imperative, especially in the fields of in-servicetraining of teachers and the production of teaching material. |
