The "Living Koine" Approach:

Some professors are trying to teach the biblical languages by using techniques commonly appropriated when learning modern (living) languages. This "living language" approach goes by various names so we'll try to highlight some of the more notable ones here:

 
Randall Buth has popularized a living language approach to learning the biblical languages: http://www.biblicallanguagecenter.com/
 
Christophe Rico has a PhD in Greek Linguistics and teaches at the Hebrew University in Israel. His living language approach is called "The Polis Method:" http://poliskoine.com/site/
 
Daniel Street teaches at Criswell College and uses the Living Koine approach: http://danielstreett.wordpress.com/
 
Finally, the B-Greek Forum has a running post on current instructors of the Living Koine approach: http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=772&sid=dbba84ffdb2f0fb9c43773b88d787eeb
