The program, which trained most of those currently teaching translation skills in high schools throughout the country, offers English teachers (those with a native-like command of Hebrew) an opportunity to vary their teaching repertory while also exploring new directions for themselves.

A registration fee of IS 130 is required. Goals: - To provide insights into the workings of language and the challenge of bridging between languages - To practice the skills involved in written translation from English into Hebrew - To provide the skills and knowledge required for teaching translation (from English into Hebrew) to the 11th and 12th grades, as a 2-point bagrut subject Requirements: - Excellent Hebrew (preferably as a mother tongue) - Excellent English - Note: Applicants will take an entrance exam comprising two essays (one in English and one in Hebrew) and a precis in each language.
