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

Week 1

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.

Week 2

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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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.
