students were shown filmstrips
and given p a n t o m i n e. They
learned to relate phrases to ideas
and pictures, and soon were
taught grammar and tenses.
From the beginning of the
course, no English was used.
Rather than relating English words
to Hebrew words, the class was
taught to form phrases from ideas
in Hebrew.
The students are given a chance
to improve their pronounciation in
Hebrew by means of flash cards
and a tape recorder. Each card
has a picture depicting a situation.
On the card is a strip of recording
tape with two tracks. On one track,
the correct pronunciation is given.
On the other track, the student
can record his own voice and com-
pare phrases. Tape recorders and
private booths are provided.
The program included, besides
the language instruction, daily
sessions in the gymnasium. pool,
and weekly sessions in Israeli
folk dancing and Hebrew sing-
ing. No homework was given.
