1 A JERUSALEM MASTER'S PROGRAM IN ANCIENT PHILOLOGY

2 WHY SHALL I STUDY FOR A MASTER S DEGREE IN ANCIENT PHILOLOGY? Teaching efficiency WHY AT POLIS? The Western Civilization has developed around two principal sources: the Judeo-Christian tradition and the Helleno-Roman culture. Those have shaped over the centuries its cultural vision and greatly contributed to the building of our modern world. In our multicultural ever-changing world, many of us long to become more acquainted with our own heritage, with the roots and the growth of Western thought. Strange as it may seem, most of the writings from Ancient and Medieval times can only be read in the original: Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Hebrew or Arabic. They have never been translated into any Modern language. Furthermore, many a specialist in Humanities lacks a real command of Ancient languages. It becomes increasingly difficult to find translators of ancient texts or even a scientific article where the author produces in a Modern language a text from Antiquity that has never been translated before. Hence, the 21st century individual finds herself or himself estranged from her or his cultural roots. Polis, the Jerusalem Institute of Languages and Humanities, comes to fulfill this need. With a large, varied Master s program, offered by worldwide renowned professors from European and American universities, the Polis Institute is so far the only place in the world where students can study the main Ancient languages (Greek, Latin, Biblical Hebrew and Classical Syriac) as living ones. Thus, our Master s program in Ancient Philology could be the gateway to the renewal of Humanities. Teaching experience Polis was founded in 2010 by a group of language teachers who aimed to give their students real tools for reading the original texts. The Institute has already offered courses in Ancient Languages (Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Greek, Aramaic and Latin) to more than three hundred students in Jerusalem, Europe, Argentina and the USA. The Institute has developed a pedagogical vision which consists of teaching Ancient Languages as living ones. Since the first day, the student is totally submerged in the taught language, which is the only spoken language in the classroom. This approach applies to Ancient languages the most recent language acquisition techniques (TPR, TPR storytelling, story-building etc.) and gives the students concrete tools for a direct and intuitive understanding of ancient texts. The students become quickly able to read directly in the original, without translating or having to use any dictionary or grammar book. For Ancient Greek, the method has been theorized in a book, Polis. Talking Ancient Greek as a living language. The French original edition has been translated into several languages and adapted for teaching Biblical Hebrew and Latin. International character Through its international staff and the multiple contacts it has with universities all around the world, Polis wants to promote a dialog with academic institutions abroad in order to make student exchanges easier. Being an international institution in a cosmopolitan city, Polis emphasizes the importance of the academic connections of its students over the world. Learning languages in a multicultural environment As the founding stone of Monotheism and a meeting point for Semitic, Hellenic and Roman heritages, the City of the Bible has always been considered the cultural reference of the Western world. It exhibits a cosmopolitan character expressed through a myriad of cultures, languages and religions. It is not surprising therefore to find in it students coming from all corners of the world and wishing to improve their knowledge of the languages of the Ancient World. Proximity to Semitic and Classic Cultures WHY IN JERUSALEM? For this Master, Polis has recruited professors who are at the forefront of research and who will assure the students a good basis for future work in that field. The exceptional proximity to the historical and archeological sites as well as to important research centers in that field offers a considerable advantage in getting acquainted with the Ancient World.
