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.
