CALR in Nunavut
The Ring
A week-long intensive course in Cambridge Bay is a perfect example of the range of compelling experiential-learning courses offered by UVic for students within the CALR program. Taught by Nunavut Arctic College instructor Emily Angulalik last year, LING 187 was featured this past season as part of a national CBC story.
MAPs for Indigenous language learning
The Ring
Adult learners are a "missing generation" in Indigenous language revitalization. The majority of fluent speakers are 70 years of age or older and although young children in immersion are speaking their languages in increasing numbers, many Indigenous adults aged 18 to 60 do not. Onowa McIvor (Indigenous education) and Peter Jacobs (linguistics) just wrapped up the first study of the Mentor-Apprentice Program for Indigenous adult language learners in BC.
