Description: In 'Dynamics of Teaching and Learning Modern Hebrew as an Additional Language' Yona Gilead presents original research into classroom interactional practices by offering a thick description of a successful beginner-level Modern Hebrew program at an Australian university. The book charts and theorizes the cohort?s teacher and students? trajectory of using Hebrew as the main means of instructing and acquiring the language, and highlights seven key features which contribute to students? learning. The book?s research-based findings and analysis of classroom dynamics contribute to theorizing the currently largely praxis-based discipline of L2 Modern Hebrew instruction, hence providing a stronger theoretical understanding of how and why students can be assisted in their language learning.
