How does the program work?
- This interactive web-based course uses the latest internet technology and the text Brandeis Modern Hebrew to guide teenagers in their learning of modern Hebrew language. There is a weekly “live” session which is held on Sundays,from 5-6 p.m. in addition to other review and independent work each week at students’ convenience. There are also requirements of technology and materials in addition to computer and internet connections. Students are required to have a webcam and microphone, davkawriter (a Hebrew word processor), and to purchase the textbook. This program started with level 1 of Hebrew and intends to eventually offer 4 different levels.
Who does the program serve?
- Students in grades 8-12 around the country.
What was the genesis of the program and what need was it meant to serve?
- To meet the needs of students who live in communities in which they cannot access quality Hebrew instruction. Also, to provide more options for those students who want to learn Hebrew but cannot attend a school during its regular meeting time.
