6/7 Hebrew V - NETA Hovrot 11 - 12- 13

The Neta curriculum consists of 30 study units (Hovrot). The curriculum integrates five dimensions: language skills, subject area content, thought process, communicative activities, and linguistic grammatical topics.

The goal of teaching is to develop the student’s active linguistic ability, based on knowledge and proficiency in the five dimensions mentioned above. The active linguistic ability is built gradually from the simple to the more complex and from passive knowledge to creative activity.

Hovrot 11 - 13 are part of the intermediate level of the Neta program. Students in this level will read longer texts, speak in longer sentences, and produce more complex and longer oral expressions than students in less advanced levels. Furthermore, they will listen to longer songs and longer stories and write longer sentences, paragraphs and compositions.

In this course the students will be introduced to close text reading techniques to enhance reading with comprehension of Biblical and Rabbinical texts and modern Hebrew literature. They will be using dictionaries and learn word search techniques in bi-lingual and mono-lingual dictionaries.

Each Hoveret presents and explores many aspects of the following themes:

Hoveret 11 – The most, the best (Sports)

Hoveret 12 - Costumes and Masks

Hoveret 13 – Voyage and Travel
