A instructor at a Roman Catholic college was reported today to be conducting a summer institute in modern Hebrew for secondary school teachers at a Yeshiva University college.
Dr. Charles C. Daly, professor at the College of New Rochelle, is in charge of the program which features a new approach in oral-aural Hebrew language teaching in place of the usual reading and writing method. The program is being conducted for 37 Jewish teachers who live in a “language house” at the dormitory of the University’s Stern College for Women in Manhattan. The speak only Hebrew.
The project is financed by the Language Development Program of the U.S. Office of Education through a $58,000 grant under the National Defense Aet. This was reported to be the first time that the study of Hebrew has been included in the defense act program.
