NAIS3220 — Indigenous Language Immersion
As children, humans learn their primary language(s) through day-to-day living and interactions in their communities. This course enables participants to learn Native language through similar immersion, focusing specifically on Minnesota's first people and the Anishinaabemowin and Dakota Iapi languages. Students will live in community together and participate in a language immersion experience wherein they conduct everyday activities in the target language; experience language-learning activities suitable to their level of proficiency (from beginner to advanced); and utilize their language skills in the classroom, as well as in outings and activities. Additionally, students study the interrelationships between language, culture, and contemporary events. prereq: instr consent
