SACE Stage 2 Modern Greek Continuers study plan
SACE Stage 2 Modern Greek Continuers · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
School assessment (internal assessment)
Draft a personal inventory of the internal-assessment text types you must produce (for example reflective, persuasive, and imaginative responses) and rank them by current confidence on a three-point scale.
Write one full-length response in your weakest text type under timed conditions and annotate every sentence where vocabulary or register broke down.
Build a personal error log of 25 recurring grammar faults drawn from that response, tagging each as morphology, syntax, or register.
Establish a weekly vocabulary cycle of 40 Modern Greek lexical items tied to the themes of contemporary society, culture, and personal identity.
Your checkpoint
A dated error log with 25 tagged entries plus one timed response with self-annotations.
School assessment (internal assessment)
Rewrite the week-one response using only the corrections logged, then compare both drafts line by line.
Practise the verb system in context by converting 20 sentences across aorist, perfect, and future forms without changing meaning.
Draft a second text type to a strict word limit so that length control becomes automatic.
Record yourself reading your own draft aloud and mark every place where the phrasing sounds translated rather than idiomatic Greek.
Your checkpoint
Two revised drafts with a written comparison note identifying at least 10 eliminated errors.
School assessment (internal assessment)
Complete a full internal-assessment simulation under exam timing and self-mark it against the official performance standards.
Strengthen cohesion by rewriting three paragraphs to use a wider range of connectives and referencing devices.
Memorise and apply 15 high-frequency idiomatic expressions in original sentences of your own.
Prepare a one-page planning template for each text type so you can structure responses in under three minutes.
Your checkpoint
One self-marked simulation with a standards-based score sheet and a completed planning template per text type.
School assessment (internal assessment) & External assessment (examination)
Consolidate internal-assessment readiness by producing one polished response per text type and filing them as a portfolio.
Begin external-assessment preparation by completing one listening passage and transcribing every item you missed.
Complete one reading comprehension set under time and classify each wrong answer as vocabulary, inference, or misread question.
List 30 topic-specific terms across the prescribed themes and test yourself on them without notes.
Your checkpoint
A four-piece portfolio plus a listening and reading diagnostic report with error categories.
External assessment (examination)
Complete two full listening sections back to back and note where concentration dropped.
Summarise each listening passage in three Greek sentences to prove comprehension rather than recognition.
Complete two reading sections and practise skimming for gist before answering detail questions.
Convert 20 new terms from the listening and reading material into active vocabulary by using them in writing.
Your checkpoint
A listening and reading log covering four passages with Greek summaries and a 20-item active vocabulary list.
External assessment (examination)
Write four extended responses under exam timing across different text types, keeping within the required word range.
Build a bank of 20 sentence openers and 15 concluding formulas that suit formal and informal registers.
Self-mark all four responses against the written-response criteria and identify the two criteria costing the most marks.
Rehearse a spoken response to three unpredictable prompts, recording each and reviewing fluency and accuracy.
Your checkpoint
Four timed responses with a completed criteria grid and a written action plan targeting the two weakest criteria.
External assessment (examination)
Sit a complete mock examination under full timing and without interruptions, then mark it strictly.
Analyse the mock to identify the three highest-value fixes available in the remaining fortnight.
Drill those three fixes through targeted exercises until errors in each fall noticeably.
Refine your written-response planning so that drafting, checking, and proofreading fit inside the time allowance.
Your checkpoint
A fully marked mock examination with a prioritised three-item remediation list and evidence of the drills completed.
School assessment (internal assessment) & External assessment (examination)
Re-sit the sections that scored lowest in the mock and compare results against week seven.
Review the entire error log and retire every entry you can now use correctly without prompting.
Produce one final polished response per text type and one full listening and reading set as a confidence check.
Finalise a one-page examination-day routine covering timing, proofreading, and stress management.
Your checkpoint
A final revision pack containing the pruned error log, re-sit results, and the examination-day routine sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Error log holds at least 25 tagged entries and the rewritten draft shows measurable reduction in repeated faults.
Week 4: Portfolio contains one polished response per text type, and listening and reading diagnostics are complete with categorised errors.
Week 6: Four timed extended responses are self-marked against the criteria, with the two weakest criteria named in writing.
Week 8: Mock re-sit shows improvement on the targeted sections, and the error log has been pruned of mastered entries.
