Summer Hebrew courses at Berkeley offer a chance to work with two fine teachers. Rutie Adler, the instructor of Hebrew 10 and coordinator of Hebrew language instruction at Berkeley, has been described as a "master teacher." Adler is the author of a recently published reference book for students of Hebrew, Zeh Lo Nora, designed by the author to give "clear, reliable explanations and memorable examples of all points of Hebrew grammar." "A great teacher" is a phrase found repeatedly in the student evaluations for Chava Boyarin, who is teaching Hebrew N106 this summer. An experienced instructor, Boyarin continues to develop new approaches and materials for teaching-for instance, the use of web streaming of Hebrew broadcasts for students in some of the various Hebrew classes she teaches, and the regular collection of new teaching materials from Israel. Past students from this upper division course on Biblical Hebrew have praised her for her clarity and her humor and understanding in facilitating student participation and learning.
