Modern Hebrew language courses are taught in a yearly cycle with the first semester ( JSTU-H 100 ) , third semester ( JSTU-H 200 ) , and fifth semester ( JSTU-H 300 ) taught each fall . Basic , intermediate and advanced language courses make extensive use of this laboratory . The language courses are structured to suit the demands of students of varied backgrounds and levels of preparation and to attract students beginning the language in their first year of university . General language courses teach basic linguistic concepts such as the existence of language families ( e.g ., Romance , Germanic ) and their relationships to one another . The East Asian language courses are taught in the Department of Comparative Literature which now offers a major and minor in Japanese Language and Literature and is developing a similar major and minor for Chinese . Both English courses and foreign language courses fulfill requirements for students on each of these three paths . In some cases German language courses are offered as part of the programme.These programmes provide intensive counselling and support . Arabic language courses help students to rapidly advance in this language and prepares them for more advanced work on literary Arabic , as well as to work , travel or study abroad .
