Course description

Sharing and learning Indigenous languages occurs in a range of contexts, with learners spanning infants to adults, and settings ranging from creek beds to classrooms to kitchen tables. For many Indigenous learners, it involves reconnection with identity and ancestors, revisiting pain and beginning healing. In this course, we explore these settings, goals and meanings for language learning, and the shared and differing demands they pose for language teachers and learners. Drawing on a growing national and international practitioner literature, this course supports students to develop mastery in planning and evaluating learning programs most suited to specific their context, including independent language learning.
