Asimina is an Adelaide-based Greek teacher who uses YouTube, gaming technology and a movement-based approach to engage youth in second language learning.

“The nature of our youth in Australia is changing and my aim is to re-institute the passion and excitement associated with learning the Greek language and culture. Modern Greek education must evolve with current trends in teaching pedagogies and by doing so, we will access more of our Greek youth and create an engaging learning experience that aligns with students interests and is contextual to their Australian environment”, says Ms. Karanikolas.
