| Body | NILI Summer Institute 2008 From the Classroom to the Family: Language in the Home The 11th annual NILI Summer Institute will take place at the University of Oregon July 7th - 18th, 2008 2008. Courses will cover a range of topics, including Northwest Native languages, linguistics, materials and technology, and teaching methods. This year, we will explore ways that parents, programs and language teachers can encourage language use outside the classroom. Course offerings: • Methods for Teaching Native Languages • Materials and Technology for Native Language Teaching • Linguistics of Indian Languages • Possible Language Courses: Sahaptin, Chinuk Wawa, Tolowa (tailored to enrollment) Weekend Workshop July 11-13 The workshop follows the theme of Language in the Home, and will run a half day Friday, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. It will be a required part of the curriculum for full summer institute participants, but also available for those of you who can’t make it for the full institute. Zalmai (Zeke) Zahir, scholar and instructor of the Lushootseed language and culture, will lead the workshop. This workshop will develop curriculum and materials that connect the classroom with the home, and address how to develop a family friendly environment within schools so parents and families feel encouraged to spend time with their children in the classroom, making it a focal point for community. The application deadline for partial tuition scholarships is February 15th, 2008. Priority registration deadline: June 2, 2008. After June 2, 2008, registration will be on a space-available basis.
