Achieve a strong command of Modern Hebrew for the purpose of using it for research. Improve reading and writing skills through the reading of academic articles in Hebrew in various fields. During the first half of the semester we will read articles on the revival of the Hebrew language and its place in the family of Semitic languages; in the second half of the semester we will read articles from a variety of academic fields (e.g., literary criticism, comparative religion, political science, history of the Middle East). Emphasis will be placed on grammar and syntax, on writing, and also on conversational skills.
