Hebrew Language 3600-7-HE3-JKH(Z)
During the course students master the knowledge of Hebrew language on an advanced level. The main objective is to develop four language skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking on C1 level. Students acquire the ability to express themselves fluently in speech and in writing. The listening comprehension will be developed by analyzing authentic recordings: dialogues, stories, radio programs. Students enrich their vocabulary and grammar knowledge and are able to understand press articles, literature (both modern and classic) and academic texts. They are familiar with different registers of language- from colloquial to formal. They improve their writing skills by writing formal letters, emails and essays.

Assessment criteria
A course co-taught by several instructors, each of whom gives their own final grade. The final grade is the weighted average of the individual final grades obtained.
ELEMENTS OF ASSESSMENT:
* attendance control,
* continuous assessment (ongoing preparation for class and activity),
* colloquia,
* written assignments.
GRADING SCALE:
99-100% 5! (excellent)
93-98% 5 (very good)
87-92% 4.5 (good plus)
77-86% 4 (good)
71-76% 3.5 (sufficient plus)
60-70% sufficient
0-59% insufficient
FREQUENCY AND ACCEPTANCE FOR GRADING:
In accordance with the order of KJD WO UW dated 31.07.2021:
- "the permitted number of unexcused absences from classes is 15%";
- "the total number of excused and unexcused absences allowing approaches to the examination is 30%". Those,, who exceed this limit of absences cannot obtain a pass mark (even in a revision session);
- "A student must excuse an absence from class immediately and no later than 7 days after the reason for the absence has ceased. In particularly justified cases, the lecturer may excuse an absence after this deadline".
EXAMINATION:
The final grade for the whole course also includes the grade from the general language test (hereinafter referred to as the EXAMINATION); its weight is equal to one class unit for the whole semester (15x90 min.). Upon completion of the course (i.e. passing the course with each instructor), the student takes a written and oral examination in the summer session. The examination consists of a written and an oral part. Failure in the written part (below 60%) means non-admission to the oral part. A failed exam (below 60% in either the written or the oral part) is re-sit in a re-sit session; An exam is NOT a test of the material covered in the course, but a test of general linguistic ability
FAILING GRADE:
A failing grade in any module or a grade below 60% in an exam is tantamount to failing the course; Students who have attended the course regularly but have not obtained a pass may re-sit the course in a re-sit session.
