Northwest Indian Language Institute - Summer Institute, 2006

THE NORTHWEST INDIAN LANGUAGE INSTITUTE
Summer Program 2006
University of Oregon
July 5 - July 21, 2006

The Northwest Indian Language Institute (NILI) will be holding its annual Summer Institute at the University of Oregon July 5-21, 2006, including a Master-Apprentice workshop led by Leanne Hinton, July 6-8.

The theme of this year’s Summer Institute will be
From Language Learner to Language Teacher:
Passing on the voices of our Elders

Since 1998, NILI's Summer Institute has offered training in teaching methods, applied linguistics, curriculum and materials development to teachers and students of Indian languages in the Northwest. The Institute is a setting where the unique situations of the region’s various Tribal language programs are respected, and we seek to provide skills and materials that will enhance your own language revitalization efforts. Participants have said they attend partly for the knowledge they gain from other participants, and the enjoyment of spending time with others involved in the same quest for language revitalization.

WORKSHOP & COURSES

*Master-Apprentice Workshop – Led by Dr. Leanne Hinton (UC-Berkeley), who was instrumental in development of the successful California Master-Apprentice Program in 1993. This method of language learning is a great way to create new speakers of a language when only a few Elder speakers remain, and to pass along traditional values and customs in a natural setting.
