Widespread Debate over the Nature of Language Development and Language Teaching(1)Li Yongda with Noam

Li Yongda(李永大,以下简称LI):Mr.Chomsky,we're getting a lot of inquiries about Hebrew the Eternal Language.I was full of admiration for Mr.William Chomsky when I read his book recently:Hebrew:The Eternal Language,published by Varda Books 2001,original copyright 1957 by The Jewish Publication Society of America.This book gives me the initial impression of the language.In addition,W.Chomsky's views on Hebrew inspire confidence today.For example,Hebrew is the nervecenter which unites and integrates the Jewish people in time and in space;Education is a slow process,lacking glamor and flourish,but it is the only effectiveemeans of bringing Zion's ideal to full fruition.
