Frontal Teaching—Elementary Schools

Frontal Teaching—High School

Digital Practice Tool

Professional Development for Teachers

Arab schools devote 5–15 hours a week to Hebrew language studies

Each school has around 5 Hebrew teachers

The Hebrew teachers are not Hebrew speakers

As a result, they teach reading and writing, syntax, and grammatical constructions and devote less attention to speaking skills

Self-confidence and tools for teaching and practice

Reinforcing teachers’ confidence in their ability to speak Hebrew and to teach spoken Hebrew

About 50% of teachers do not have a teaching certificate in Hebrew

This has a direct impact on their teaching abilities and the level of studies

Learning Zones

Exposing students to the Hebrew language

Ongoing and direct exposure in common areas in the school

Video clips, posters, books, and games

Hebrew materials facilitating interaction with the Hebrew language
