Average Course Rating

(-1)

This project will offer a 1 credit course over the course of 5 weeks during Spring 2026 to students who have demonstrated intermediate level proficiency and/ or above in Hebrew and/or in Arabic. Through this course, students will get the opportunity to explore the many linguistic, social, and cultural similarities and differences between the two semitic languages. The ultimate goal of the course would be to promote dialogue and expose students to new perspectives through cultural exchanges and comparisons. Students will build stronger connections among learners, be encouraged cross-cultural engagement, and nuance each other’s language and perspectives. This class is meant to promote both inter- and intra- cultural conversations, appealing to students of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. (Elementary Hebrew or/and Arabic required.)
