Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how, considering recent
developments in linguistics and second-language instruction, computerassisted
language learning (CALL) may contribute towards more effective
instruction of Biblical Hebrew (=BH). Adopting a holistic approach to the
instruction of BH is regarded as the best justifiable way to optimise the utilisation
of advances in these fields of study for the instruction of this
language. Against this background the language model, the instructional
design and implementation strategy for a programme that may enhance the
instruction and learning of BH is described. This programme is intended for
full-time residential students, but it also tries to provide an opportunity for
other highly motivated learners to acquire a basic knowledge of BH with the
minimum involvement of a human tutor.
