In Eynem: The New Yiddish Textbook

Written by Asya Vaisman Schulman and Jordan Brown with Mikhl Yashinsky, In eynem is the first fully-illustrated, multimedia Yiddish textbook that uses the communicative approach to language learning. With this book, students use language as a practical tool for conversing with their classmates about their daily lives and as a vehicle through which they creatively delve into texts for cultural and artistic insights. Fully supports different types of learners (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and multiple learning environments: in-class learning with a teacher, independent learning, online learning, and community group learning. Incorporates a wide variety of multimedia resources (available through the textbook website), primary source historical documents, and literary texts. Emphasizes all four areas of language learning: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Includes a cast of recurring characters that represent all the different types of people who speak and study Yiddish today. Includes a teacher guide that provides detailed lesson plans to optimize the use of the book in a classroom setting, as well as functioning as a teacher training tool both for new teachers and as enrichment for experienced teachers.
