What's included
12 live meetings
10 in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. There is homework assigned in this class. Ongoing homework for this course includes reviewing vocabulary words using flashcards or lists. Students should ideally spend between 5-10 minutes each school day reviewing vocabulary. The ability to recall vocabulary words quickly and correctly fosters the student’s conversational and understanding skills. Additionally, the less time we must spend reviewing prior vocabulary in class the more time that can be spent on new material and conversation practice. In addition to reviewing vocabulary and practicing scriptwriting, there may be additional activities assigned as homework such as exercises in the textbook or outside worksheets.Assessment
Informal assessments will be conducted throughout this course. Parents requiring more formal assessments or grades can reach out to the teacher to make arrangements.Grading
includedClass Experience
REQUIRED PRE-REQUISITE: Students must have completed Modern Hebrew Language 1B to take this course. Please do not enroll in this class without completing Modern Hebrew Language 1B. Students who have prior Hebrew experience can request an evaluation to determine if they can bypass the pre-requisite. Ram, Nira, and Robo are almost done with Modern Hebrew Language 1 and so are you! This class continues where Modern Hebrew Language 1B leaves off and covers the final three units in Hakol Chadash Aleph (11, 12, and 13). Along with continuing to advance their Hebrew Script writing and adding to their general vocabulary, this course will introduce students to: Additional verbs The conjugation of singular and plural verbs The plural pronouns (we, you and they) Feminine numbers 0-12 Conjugating verbs into their infinitive forms As done in Modern Hebrew Language 1B students will continue to practice all the elements of second language study including reading, speaking, understanding, and writing. Learning and review will be conducted through oral practice, written exercises, games, and reading. *This is a foreign language class. While participation is not required it is a necessary element for student success. Please keep that in mind when enrolling. *All class times are approximate. Class length varies based on student progress and the number of learners. Classes are designed to not run over the allotted time. *All classes will begin on time as long as there is at least one learner in the classroom. If 10 minutes after the start time there are no students in the class the teacher will exit the classroom. This class cannot be taught with no students, so no recordings will be available for classes with zero attendance.
Learning Goals
Students will develop and build on skills in the four common language learning areas: listening and understanding, speaking, reading, and writing for the Modern Hebrew language.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This course, along with all my Hebrew courses, is taught from a secular and academic perspective. Parents should note that the textbook utilized is intended for recent immigrants to Israel (the only nation where Modern Hebrew is the official language) and some content does include information about Israeli geography and life.
Parents should be aware that Hebrew is a gendered language and that there is no accepted terminology in use for individuals who prefer they/them pronouns. In Hebrew They/Them has two forms: one for a group of men or a mixed gendered group and one for a group of women. Additionally, using plural terms for one individual in a language that is brand new for students may lead to additional confusion Traditionally, when gender is unknown (such as asking, “Who lives in the house?”) it defaults to masculine singular. Students who are interested in taking this class or parents of those students that prefer they/them pronouns should reach out to me to determine what they would prefer to use in context of this class.
As a more advanced foreign language course parents should be aware that it is assumed that students are reviewing vocabulary and completing all assignments
Supply List
Since all students should have completed the pre-requisite for this course (Modern Hebrew Language 1B) they should already have the textbook Hakol Chadash Aleph. Students should also continue to include their flashcards from the previous course in their vocabulary review. They should also have blank index cards to turn into additional flashcards. Students should also bring to class a pencil and paper/notebook to take notes. Students should also have access to common school supplies like scissors, glue, markers, etc. *Students who were excused from the pre-requisite course need will need to purchase the textbook Hakol Chadash Aleph available from: https://www.israelbookshop.com/hakol-chadash-i.html or http://www.sifrutake.com/scripts/main.cgi?action=big&product=EB106 There are additional materials and assignments that will be provided by the teacher in the classroom space during the class. Please note that it is expected that students will have these assignments printed out for the appropriate lesson.
