The Northwest Indian Language Institute at the University of Oregon will hold its 2018 Summer Institute June 18-29. In addition to a training program for indigenous language teachers, there is a youth program for high school students. 

Summer Institute Teacher Training Program
NILI’s Summer Institute Teacher Training Program is a 2-week program where Native language teachers and learners study an indigenous language, linguistics, teaching methods, and language activism. Teachers will learn to apply teaching strategies and will develop materials to take home to their classrooms.

Summer Institute Youth Program
High school students study language, linguistics and teaching methods. They will design and create activities to support preschool learners. Guest speakers (UO faculty and Native students) present information and experiences that will introduce youth to college life and create a bridge to higher education. Students are mentored in project brainstorming, planning, linguistic guidance, pedagogy, evaluation, tool support, and product delivery.

There is a scholarship available; apply by today, May 14.
