Interactional linguistics
Hello, Fadesga. I undid you stub-sorting of Interactional linguistics. That is actually a functional approach to grammar and phonology. It is not a part of sociolinguistics, despite drawing from methods in conversation analysis. Cnilep (talk) 04:33, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Dear Fadesga,

Thank you for your note. We’ve noticed that you have been reverting our entry, so thanks for the opportunity to clarify. We posted a brief factual description of the program with a link to the website. Unfortunately, the alternative entry is not accurate and I am not sure where it originated. The curriculum was not created by Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In addition, while we did grant permission for the research study cited, the study has number of factual inaccuracies, some methodological deficiencies and a tiny sample size.

We respectfully request that our entry be allowed to stand and not be replaced with unsubstantiated content. Please feel free to get back to us with any questions.

Thank you,

Naomi Stillman Associate Director, NETA-CET Hebrew College Newton Centre, MA

NETA, established in 2001, is a comprehensive Hebrew language program for students in grades 6–12, reaching students in over 120 schools worldwide (http://neta.cet.ac.il/Engschools.aspx). NETA offers a wide variety of primary source materials, adapted texts, language exercises, songs, conversations, art, and movies that speak to teenagers. The curriculum explores Jewish and Israeli culture of diverse historical periods, genres, and media. Grammar and linguistics are integrated with content, and the 4 language skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking – are emphasized.

In 2011, the NETA program partnered with the Center for Educational Technology (CET), an Israel-based NGO and a leader in educational technology. The program is now called NETA-CET. NETA-CET is engaged in an ongoing development process and is adding new technological applications to Hebrew language education, including a website with new media-rich digital textbooks, learning tools, and online teacher resources.
