Welcome

Welcome to the Wikispaces site for Conversational Classical Hebrew!

This site grew out of a Workshop in Conversational Classical Hebrew held in Ashland, Ohio in June 2009. The workshop was sponsored by members of the CoHeLeT team which developed first-year teaching materials for biblical (i.e., classical) Hebrew, using principles and methods drawn from the fields of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Communicative Learning & Teaching (CLT). The aim of the workshop is to equip teachers of biblical Hebrew to incorporate communicative Hebrew into their pedagogy and to grow in their own conversational skills.

The purpose of this site is be a place where members of that workshop and other interested friends can continue to communicate with one another about teaching biblical Hebrew. We all sensed a need to share ideas, ask questions of one another, and to share resources that we have either developed or found helpful.

Shalom!
