Traditionally, children star-
ting Hebrew school are given
a taste of honey to show them
the sweetness of the Hebrew
language. At the University
of Michigan they are shown
videos.
The emphasis in U-M's
Hebrew language depart-
ment has shifted away from
memorization toward use of
computer programs and
videos that interact with the
student.
Professor Edna Amir Cof-
fin, head of the modern
Hebrew language and
literature department, says
that not only does the system
allow students to freeze the
frames in order to fragment
new information convenient-
ly, but the computer also
analyzes student problems in
language usage. A student
may, for instance, mistake the
masculine third person as be-
ing the form for all third per-
son; the computer will alert
the student that the form is
wrong, explain why, and give
suggestions for the student to
consider.
Coffin has purchased an
Israeli television sitcom call-
ed "Krovim, Krovim." The
program, she says, "helps in-
crease vocabulary and listen-
ing comprehension with en-
joyment and minimal pain"
for the second-, third- and
fourth-year Hebrew students
who use it.
In addition, viewing the
program allows students to
observe things that do not oc-
cur in textbook study, like
hand motions, facial expres-
sions and vocal inflections
that may be particular to
Israelis.
Coffin purchased "Krovim,
Krovim" on laser video disc,
allowing her to resegment the
original program and add
educational exercises. Coffin
says students can benefit by
seeing a video display that
shows various ways to use one
word or to use different syn-
tax to form the same
sentence.
Another project developed
by Coffin and graduate
teaching assistant Amit
Schitai is an interactive
video, this one produced at
the university itself by upper
level department students.
Titled "A Safe Affair," the pro-
gram dramatizes a hypothet-
ical Israeli court case based
on the popular American
television series "The People's
Court." The video asks the
student to observe the case as
if he or she is the judge.
The video presents one
story from several vantage
points, allowing the viewer to
see a portrayal of ordinary in-
dividuals as they interact
together. Thus, among other
linguistic advantages, the
viewer hears both informal
and formal use of Hebrew
within one setting. The
reader is also introduced to
Hebrew courtroom ter-
minology. For added authen-
ticity, characters in this video
were portrayed by students
from Israel studying at the
University of Michigan.
The details of the video are
complex, and students often
choose to view the court case
in English first in order to
sort through the facts. Says
Eric Siegel, a senior, "We
have to keep track of every-
thing that's happening.
Everything counts because
you don't know what counts."
Seigel says he appreciates
that he and his classmates
can freeze screens into
