Classes as part of a university-level practical Hebrew language course at the C1.1 level. The course aims to develop students’
four language skills—listening comprehension, reading, writing, and speaking—at an advanced level. Students acquire
the ability to express themselves fluently in both speech and writing. Emphasis is placed on listening comprehension of authentic recordings:
dialogues, stories, and radio news. Students expand their vocabulary and knowledge of grammar, which prepares them to
understand press, literary, and academic texts.

the student takes a written and oral exam during the summer session.
The exam consists of a written and an oral part. Failing the written part (below 60%) means the student will not be admitted to the oral part.
A failed exam (below 60% on either the written or oral part) is retaken during the make-up session;
The exam is NOT a test of course material, but a test of overall language proficiency.
