TitleVerb-Based Indigenous Language Teaching
Body
An ILAT listserv user writes the following:

I have read about several immersion programs focusing on verb based teaching methods. The best rationale and description I have read is Situational Navajo:
A School-Based, Verb-Centered Way of Teaching Navajo by Wayne Holm, Irene Silentman, Laura Wallace at http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/NNL/NNL_3.pdf

The Navajo Nation Language Project published several short pieces of advice on the same topic. Their one page Dos and Don’ts in Language Teaching is available at http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/NNL/NNL_Dos.pdf and their Ten Tips for Teaching in Navajo Immersion Programs is available at http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/NNL/NNL_Tips.pdf
