Continuing Workshop on University Teaching of Hebrew Language

Teaching Hebrew Morphology in the 21st Century

 Workshop Director: 
Dr. Tania Notarius, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

The International Center for University Teaching of Jewish Civilization is
pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for this year’s
session of the Continuing Workshop on University Teaching of Hebrew Language.
The workshop will take place in Jerusalem from Sunday through Thursday, July
10-14, 2016 / 4-8 Tammuz 5776, and will focus on Teaching Hebrew Morphology in
the 21st Century.

The International Center's workshops on University Teaching of Hebrew Language
are designed to meet the interests of the professors of Hebrew in universities
outside of Israel and to provide theoretical knowledge and practical tools
relevant for their teaching. The workshop includes meetings with scholars,
lecturers and Hebrew teachers from Israel and abroad, as well as sessions in
small groups of colleagues held in an informal setting, aimed to promote
fruitful discussion and interchange of ideas.

The workshop is conducted in cooperation with the Division of Hebrew Language
Instruction at the Rothberg International School for Overseas Students.
Workshop participants will have an opportunity to observe classes conducted by
the Division teachers and to hold joint discussions on various issues
connected to Hebrew teaching. The workshop program will also include a visit
to the Academy Language (the co-organizer of this workshop) and attend
lectures and presentations by the Academy staff.  In the varied sessions the
workshop participants will also be welcome to present the results of their
teaching experience.

Hebrew is known for its rich inflectional morphology (verbal, nominal and
pronominal), the acquisition of which is often considered difficult, dull and
time-consuming, particularly at the beginners’ levels. This year the workshop
on Hebrew teaching at the universities abroad will explore the most updated
methods that have the potential to optimize this process for both the teacher
and the student, addressing the following questions: Do the Web and the
Interactive Technologies propose interesting tools? What can be the role of
immersion and communication in acquiring morphological patterns?  How should
the challenge of linguistic variationism in Modern Hebrew be addressed – by
learning ‘normative’ morphology through the access to classical and literary
forms or by adhering to conversational vernacular innovations? All these
questions will be treated in their practical aspects with a special
consideration of the teaching technologies applied in the classroom.

Participation is limited to a small number of university teachers of Hebrew
language, chosen from applicants from all over the world.
