Description

This unit picks up from HBRW2608. It is an intensive language-learning program covering Level Dalet. It is based both on communicative (speaking, listening) and writing (reading, writing) skills. Through using the Hebrew language in a range of contexts, students further extend and develop their communicative skills. As well, they are introduced to contemporary texts that reflect socio-cultural issues of Israeli society over the last two centuries.
