Abstract

Language acquisition is a complex process. Learning a new language in adulthood makes it worse. In the University setting, with its vicissitudes and busy schedules, acquiring a foreign language is a challenge. This becomes more of a problem when such foreign language is not spoken frequently in the location of such adult learners and their institution of higher learning. What if the language is a “dead” language, old and archaic, and not used in daily conversations? Such is the case for KOINE Greek Grammar, a compulsory course for all in the Religious Studies Department of the Babcock University. Why is there is a below average performance in KOINE Greek Grammar? What strategies would improve student’s performance in KOINE Greek Grammar? These research findings hold sway for other foreign languages taught in Babcock University such as French, a compulsory course for all BU students. This paper suggests useful steps to enhance one’s personal or professional enhancement pursuit of acquiring other languages such as Spanish, Latin, to mention but a few.
