• The multimedia content should include a lot of dialogues and rely heavily on speech interaction. The communicative approach, emphasizing role play and real life situations should not limit itself to the conventional material. By introducing specific types of  excercises (e.g. record and playback) complementary to the more traditional ones (multiple choice etc.),  the spectrum of possible interactions could be tremendously enhanced.
• Self-assesment is crucial. Adults can easily adopt effective learning strategies, and since the vast majority of the target group are adult learners, they should be provided with tools that would allow them to self-assess themselves in order to adopt the appropriate strategies. 
• The internet should be used as a platform for continous communication, collaboration and updating of the material. Because of the sporadic nature of the demand for modern Greek, students should be given maximum flexibility.
