Description: This course will examine
the characteristics and stages of development associated with American Indian
language learners and the implications for teaching tribal heritage languages.
The course will explore current issues in language instruction at the
elementary and secondary level including, but not limited to: teaching strategies and approaches for
developing communicative competence: language lesson planning and curriculum
development; language assessment issues; and other language related matters
pertaining to language instruction and Native language programs. This course
is designed for Native speakers of American Indian languages, with special
emphasis on New Mexico
tribal languages. Students will be
working in their native languages and will be expected to complete a number
of language related projects that address language instruction in their
respective communities and schools.
The course will meet in full day sessions over the course of several
Saturdays during the semester. Visits
with “veteran” Native language immersion teachers and programs will be
arranged during the course and will be a requirement of all students. The objectives of this course are to:
|
|
· Understand the
instructional needs of language learners and the implications for developing
appropriate strategies that will meet their language development needs.
|
|
· Utilize information
about best practices in language instruction and informed knowledge about
language learning processes for planning appropriate programs of language
instruction.
|
|
· Understand the
relationship between native language teaching practices and tribal goals for
maintaining tribal languages.
|
|
