The Koine Immersion Series
Bringing biblical Greek to life
An immersive, digital textbook series from GlossaHouse
Features
“The Inductive Approach” or “The Communicative Approach” introduces students to language learning in an interactive, fun, semi-immersive, and embodied way. It draws on the best insights from linguistic theory and language pedagogy to both bring the language to life and bring life to the language. The Koine Immersion series will have students listening to, speaking, reading, writing, and “watching” the language. The electronic format of this resource allows students to take short assessments along the way and receive instant feedback.
Series Outline
The Koine Immersion Series is an ongoing project that will eventually include twelve primary volumes. Each volume will transition into more advanced material and will continue to add to the students’ intuitive grasp of NT vocab, grammar, and syntax. By the end of the series, students will recognize by sight and sound all NT words occurring more than 30 times, as well as many more. The goal is for students to learn around 1,000 common words and reach a basic level of hearing, speaking, and reading proficiency in NT Greek.
The Immersion Process
The progression of learning in this series mimics a natural learning process. Each learning unit consist of two video elements as well as written descriptions. In the first video, students see pictures and hear words and phrases that correspond with those pictures. They decipher the meaning of the words and phrases based on the pictures and learn the language by ear. They then repeat the first video and practice repeating the words and phrases. The second video repeats the first video but with Greek subtitles, allowing students to then connect the text with the words and phrases they have already learned.
Fun and Interactive Learning
Each unit contains mulitple interactive quizzes for students to self-evaluate their progress. Each volume also contains a portion from the New Testament set to music to encourage students to begin memorizing Greek Scripture.
