Abstract

The teaching and learning of Modern Hebrew as an additional language has traditionally been a practice-driven discipline rather than a research-focused field of instruction, with the majority of practitioners in this field focused on teaching the language rather than engaging in research. However, the discipline is currently going through a transitional phase in which pedagogy and classroom practices are receiving increased academic attention. By providing a research-based ‘thick description’ of one successful Modern Hebrew beginners-level program, set within a large Australian university, this book analyses and theorizes teaching and learning interactions and

[C]lassroom behaviours that are [sic] so commonplace that they are assumed to be unimportant, or so fleeting and ephemeral that they sometimes operate below the threshold of teacher consciousness.

Senior (1999, p. 3)

Through three levels of data analysis, this book contributes to closing a gap in knowledge about the teaching and learning of Modern Hebrew as an additional language: it provides clearer insights into beginner-level classroom-based teaching and learning interactions; and it offer theorization to the concepts that underpin the practice-based beginner-level curriculum and pedagogy developed at the Rothberg International School for Overseas Students at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Thus this book contributes to theorizing the currently largely praxis-based discipline, and helps to develop a stronger theoretical understanding of how and why students can be assisted in their learning of Modern Hebrew as an additional language. Finally, it is hoped that the research carried out in this book will help to establish a stronger research-based agenda in this discipline and position it within the broader field of L2 research and scholarship; specifically in Australia, but with international applications as well.
