Teaching Modern Greek as a Foreign Language has very early been a concern of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Modern Greek teaching began in the 1950s along with teaching foreign languages within the classes and other activities offered to students by the Foreign Languages Teaching Center and it has been successful until today. In 1991 the Interdepartmental Program of Modern Greek as a Foreign Language was founded and has been working ever since then under the supervision of the Section of Linguistics of the Department of Philology and in 1994 it began to accept post-graduate students to be trained in teaching Modern Greek as a Foreign Language. Due to the constantly increasing demand, the Teaching Center started expanding both in size and scope and in 1994 it became independent and was integrated into the Interdepartmental Program.
