Learning outcomes
|
The ability to use Modern Hebrew in both oral and written form
Students will be able to communicate appropriately in everyday situations (e.g., when interacting with familiar and unfamiliar people or handling simple administrative matters), taking into account the specific communicative context. They will use grammatical structures appropriate to the situation, including the most common verbs in the present, past, and future tenses, and will be able to speak about themselves and their immediate environment, as well as compare it with life in Israel. They will also be able to communicate in simpler situations that require some awareness of a broader social context. The course also fosters critical engagement with artificial intelligence tools: students will learn to use these tools as supportive resources for developing their language skills and producing their own outputs, while reflecting on their limitations, verifying outputs, and integrating them ethically into their studies.
