All teachers participating in the study use a combination of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)‐style and grammar‐translation methods. Teachers frequently cited time pressures and the distinctive, literary goal of Biblical Hebrew courses as reasons for not adopting a CLT‐only approach. However, some of the CLT techniques teachers have integrated into their classes include vocalization of Biblical Hebrew as an important learning technique. Many teachers also highlighted the value of having lots of comprehensible written input to develop the reading skills central to Biblical Hebrew courses. Recommendations for future practice include paired or small group reading and greater use of props, visuals, and dramatization of teacher‐led reading. Finally, a personal, collaborative approach to teaching and learning should be fostered in class. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Teaching Theology & Religion is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
