  This study aims to develop an online Greek language learning platform via a
learning management system based on the WordPress platform for primary school
pupils with Russian as a mother tongue. The subject was chosen with a view to
aid both the communication needs of Russian native speakers in Greece, as well
as their smooth integration into society. For the purpose of the current study,
we investigated how Greek language is learnt in Russia, how widespread and
popular it is, whether it is supported by the Russian educational system, as
well as whether Greek language distance learning could be achieved. Moreover,
LMS (Learning management system) environments were investigated as well, aiming
at selecting the most student-teacher-friendly one. Taking into account that
the platform is addressed to children, a presentable and properly developed
material was designed, thus making the learning of each module more interesting
and comprehensible throughout its short duration. With GrfKids platform
speakers of other languages have the opportunity to learn Greek in an
interactive asynchronous teaching environment with an automatic assessment.
Moreover,GrfKids can be easily and immediately expanded both to pupils'
linguistic, as well as age range. GrfKids provides Greek language courses to
children with Russian as a mother tongue with interactive modules in which the
learners can adapt the learning time by themselves. It is easy to use,
functional and easily adapted to the ages it is addressed to.
