NMC1335H: Advanced Modern Hebrew II

This final advanced-level course provides students with an extensive vocabulary and knowledge of grammatical structures with a more in-depth study of the language and attention to verb conjugation, noun forms, and syntactic structure of modern Hebrew. In addition, students will learn to understand and produce texts in modern Hebrew through exposure to literature, poetry, and everyday conversation. Each lesson emphasizes all four skills (reading, comprehension, speaking, and writing) so that students feel comfortable using their skills. Assignments will help students incorporate all the language skills with exposure to a wide range of vocabulary and language structure. Upon completing this course, students should be able to understand discussions on a variety of topics, able to express ideas and opinions clearly and fluently, describe situations and actions using the correct forms of verbs and nouns, and expand and effectively use a more precise and varied vocabulary.

In writing capabilities, students will write coherently considering both form and content, compose complex sentences, and produce narrative and descriptive writing. In this terminal level of the Hebrew-from-scratch program, students will master the verb tenses and be able to conjugate the seven verb forms in past, present, and future tenses, and they will understand and correctly apply the rules of gender and be able to use the correct pronouns and suffixes.
