This subject focuses on the detailed analysis of contemporary literary Hebrew texts drawn from the canon of Israeli prose and poetry, intending to deepen students’ familiarity with a range of registers and styles. In addition, there are continuous oral and written practical exercises using modern conversational idiom and newspaper and academic articles that allow students to obtain advanced linguistic structures that imbues them with the proficiency to articulate with greater complexity their own experiences, aspirations, and opinions. By tackling authentic texts that explore themes of increasing complexity and that are of significance to Israeli and Jewish culture, students will further augment proficiencies acquired in previous Hebrew subjects, including their written and oral production skills and the competency to discuss literary and non-literary texts.
