Participants should:<\/p>\n
\n- be sponsored by a Bible translation organization or project, although an independent participant may also apply.<\/li>\n
- have the ability to read basic English, but will be permitted to present research in other languages including: English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Hebrew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Participants will be required to study the series of Foundations: Units 1-2<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>before coming to Israel in order to prepare for rapid learning in an oral environment. Listening to the material requires about 40-50 hours of preparation. This must be completed two months prior to the course start date, as a\u00a0<\/span>pre-condition to final acceptance<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Field Trips, Lands and Culture” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”d65564df-16ef-4f34-8a22-5bdc344df112″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The SBH program includes field trips to biblical locations, allowing students to directly observe the significance of the geography and physical artifacts while reading the relevant Hebrew texts. Descriptions on site are taught in basic biblical Hebrew and \u201ceasy\u201d (modern) Hebrew, as necessary. Field trips will include various sites and museums, and classroom teaching will cover cultural configurations of ancient life in Israel, bringing to life key Hebrew terms for translators.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Benefit of Modern Hebrew” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”d65564df-16ef-4f34-8a22-5bdc344df112″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The program integrates modern Hebrew around the biblical Hebrew classes. The modern language is the most efficient framework for internalizing the structure of the biblical language, thus accelerating the language learning process.<\/p>\n
Biblical Hebrew is not a complete language, and so modern Hebrew can be used when discussing texts to cover any gaps in the biblical language, without needing to resort to other languages. Modern Hebrew also gives participants access to valuable modern Hebrew commentaries on the biblical texts.<\/p>\n
Dr. Aaron Hornkohl, Hebrew Language Officer, University of Cambridge, says, \u201cWhile I have taken a handful of excellent biblical Hebrew courses with teachers who imparted foundational and\/or seminal lessons, my own ability to read, analyze and teach the language and literature of the Bible is more a result of linguistic fluency gained thanks to the study of the modern tongue. This is for the simple reason that “<\/span>actually learning Hebrew has proven far more useful than merely learning to talk about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Pedagogical Best Practices” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”d65564df-16ef-4f34-8a22-5bdc344df112″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Language instruction utilizes a variety of techniques drawn from current research in the field of second language acquisition (SLA), so that learners find themselves in a language-rich, meaning-focused environment with many opportunities to interact with one another, negotiate meaning, and communicate ideas all in biblical Hebrew. Some techniques include picture storyboards, Total Physical Response (TPR), role-playing, and Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS). Stephen Krashen, a widely recognized researcher and theorist in second language acquisition studies says,\u00a0<\/span>\u201cTPRS is better than anything else out there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nThese language teaching techniques and questions and answers in Hebrew on the biblical texts fill the classroom with understandable biblical Hebrew as the oral medium from the very first lessons.<\/p>\n

Teachers for the SBH program will be from a pool of credentialed Hebrew professors and scholars (PhD or MA), primarily graduates of Israeli universities or teachers at the universities.<\/p>\n
The whole program will receive reinforcement and language support through resident assistants. This commitment to using Hebrew outside of the classroom in a friendly environment both enhances the coursework and enables greater success for participants.<\/p>\n
