In regards to
The Hebrew Workshop is a private Hebrew school (" Ulpan “) located in Paris and Tel-Aviv. We teach modern Hebrew with an emphasis on oral communication. Classes are held in small groups, allowing each student to participate in discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. The topics covered in class revolve around contemporary Israeli culture: music, poetry, TV series, newspaper articles... Our students learn Hebrew while discovering Israeli culture, which is intimately linked to it. This makes our courses perfectly suited for students who want to get by in Hebrew quickly to communicate and be independent in Israel.
The motivations of the students are diverse: some want to emigrate to Israel (to do their Aliya ”) or are thinking about it, others have an Israeli spouse, and others simply want to learn a new language or get to know Israeli society better.
Pedagogie
L'accent est mis sur l'hébreu moderne et sur l'expression orale.
Notre objectif principal est de renforcer votre confiance en vous de manière à ce que vous soyez capable de vous exprimer en hébreu à l'extérieur du cours. L'apprentissage englobe la lecture, l'écriture et surtout la communication orale. Nous pensons qu'apprendre l'hébreu est une chose agréable et que c'est également une opportunité d'apprendre à connaître la culture israélienne. Nous utiliserons des textes, des chansons ainsi que des extraits vidéo comme supports dans nos discussions sur la culture et sur l'actualité israéliennes. Nous ferons également de courtes excursions hors de la salle de classe afin d'apprendre du vocabulaire utile.
Nous travaillons avec un manuel de travail édité par nos soins.
Nous mettons l’accent sur la dimension vivante de l’enseignement de la langue dans la relation avec nos étudiants. Nous souhaitons que vous viviez pleinement la langue que vous apprenez! La langue est avant tout une culture et nous souhaitons vous faire découvrir la musique, le cinéma, la littérature de toute une culture israélienne grâce à la langue.
