EDU 589 Teaching Hebrew - Intensive
Teaching Hebrew focuses on a variety of approaches to Hebrew language education including Hebrew proficiency, Hebrew immersion, Hebrew through comprehensible input, Hebrew infusion, prayerbook/siddur Hebrew, Hebrew Through Movement, and more. Through a combination of site visits, conversations with veteran educators, and traditional coursework, students in this course will investigate the field of Jewish education's differing answers to a common set of questions: Why should Jews learn Hebrew? What form(s) of Hebrew should they learn? How is Hebrew best taught and learned? What kind of Jew does Hebrew education strive to develop? What do, and what should, learners understand about Israel when they learn Hebrew?
