Presently I am drawing together a group of Biblical Hebrew professors who will serve as a Design Team to develop introductory materials utilizing communicative language teaching methods for ancient Hebrew. This will be a grant-funded project in which we will meet for one week during three successive years. It is titled "Communicative Teaching of Biblical Hebrew." A crucial member of the Design Team will be a technology consultant who will acquaint the rest of us with an overview of ways technolgy can help language acquisition. In addition, the technology consultant will be present through each workshop, serving in an advisory capacity. This individual's primary skill will be educational technology suitable for language-learning; familiarity with Second Language Acquisition theory/practice would also be useful. This person need not be skilled in Biblical Hebrew. The workshops will likely be scheduled in mid-June (2006, 07, 08), and will run from Tues. p.m. through Thurs. noon. The location will be in north-central Ohio (retreat / conference centers two years, and at our seminary campus one year). Hebrew faculty are coming from as far as Israel to participate. I would like to attract the most qualified SLA person possible for this effort. All costs will be covered (travel, food, lodging), with an additional stipend of approx. $400 per participant per year. Further explanation and response form may be found in the attached documents. Can you help me convey this opportunity via LLTI to qualified individuals? I will be grateful for any suggestions you may have, and would be happy to respond to any questions that may arise. Sincerely, Paul Overland, Ph.D. Assoc. Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages Ashland Theological Seminary 910 Center Street Ashland, OH 44805 USA 419.289.5773 [log in to unmask]
