060012 PV Hebrew in Jerusalem (2013W)

Continuous assessment of course work

This course is part of the "Hebrew in Jerusalem" series, which was developped by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for Hebrew as a foreign and second language. Brief reading sections and conversation exercises deepen the participants' knowledge of Jerusalem's history and present significance. We will encounter pertinent language structures (esp. syntax) and enrich our vocabulary. The course design facilitates active participation in classroom debate.
The course can be taken upon successful completion of the Modern Hebrew introductory module at the Department of Jewish Studies or a comparable command of language (i.e. Rama Gimel to Dalet according to the Israeli Ulpan system).
Every course participant is expected to have access to the textbook.
