是给谁的

Ivriyon is designed for day school teachers of grades K–12 and for graduate students of Jewish education who plan to teach in a day school.

Participants should come to Ivriyon with an intermediate level of Hebrew.

High-intermediate proficiency is a stage of linguistic development at which the basic language structures and general vocabulary have been learned and can be activated fairly fluently (though with errors) in controlled or preplanned communicative situations and over a limited range of topics. The description is based on the guidelines of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

Expectations for Incoming Ivriyon Participants

• 说: Participants can describe self and family, 日常工作, and environment; narrate past events; and discuss future plans using present- and past-tense verbs. They are likely to have trouble with irregular conjugations and uncertain control of the future tense. 他们可以处理简单的, everyday communicative tasks and social situations, 用简单的语言表达观点.
• 阅读: Participants can read vocalized text without errors but read unfamiliar unvocalized text inaccurately and slowly. They can extract general information from simplified narrative, 描述性的, 以及话语文本, though they may rely more on lexical clues and overall context for deriving meaning than on grammatical relations. They have to read material several times for understanding.
• 聆听: Listening at the high-intermediate level is characterized by ability to understand sentence-length utterances uttered at a normal pace, as well as questions asked in context or repeated. The learners can gather the main gist of an overheard conversation on familiar topics, but need vocabulary preparation and contextual support in order to understand a lecture on an abstract topic.
• 写作: Participants can compose a short letter, a diary entry, a description of a problem, etc., with some spelling and grammar errors and basic vocabulary. Overall, the 写作 reflects the individual writer’s speech.
