How much do you connect the language that you teach with the culture where that language is used? Today, Rabbi Daniel Atwood, a Hebrew teacher in Chicago, joins me to explore this idea in depth. We look at how he teaches a language that is deeply connected to a faith tradition and how he brings this to life in his classroom.…So let’s jump in.
Topics in this Episode:
- how Danial introduce Hebrew script to learners and helps them overcome any apprehensions they might have about learning a new writing system
- incorporating elements of culture, history, and religious traditions into language lessons
- creating an immersive environment in your classroom, virtually or physically, that allows students to explore and appreciate culture
- navigating the potential religious sensitivities of certain topics or materials while still fostering an inclusive and diverse learning environment
