As a native Israeli, Hebrew is a big part of my identity. I was always fascinated with its linguistic richness and influences from the Bible, Semitic and European languages.\u00a0 Hebrew teaching is very close to my heart, and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to expose students to the unique case of its revival. Language acquisition is a holistic process, which integrates exposure to diverse cultural narratives and supports students’ intellectual and emotional growth. The daily encounter with students enriches my world; as stated in the ancient rabbinic text Pirkei Avot<\/em>: “Who is wise? One who learns from every man.”<\/p>\n

My love for Israeli language and culture is reflected in my academic journey, from Hebrew literature to Israeli and Palestinian art. As part of my doctoral research, I am researching the connection between teaching a second language and ideology, with the influence of neoliberal attitudes and globalization. Using a multidisciplinary connection between Second Language Teaching, Ideology, and Israel education, I examined how Israeli education in Hebrew classrooms functions as linguistic capital that gives students social tools for functioning in their habitus.<\/p>\n

Through my investigation, I am trying to create an approach that will help learners gain complex linguistic functioning skills embedded in a Hebrew cultural context. My research aims to create pedagogical tools that expose students to the different layers of meaning that Hebrew language and culture offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
