The specific focus will be on regional languages (Dakota, Lakota, Ojibwe,
Hocak, Oneida, etc.), but any interested person is invited. The intent is
to help native language teachers begin to network, to promote sharing of
teaching materials and techniques, to foster discussion of critical
language issues (English as an "Official" language, funding of language
programs), to present several topics for discussion (ITV, distance
education, etc.), and to help our program and the wider University identify
actions it can take to provide better support to the community and to
professional development of native language teachers.
Interested? Send your name and address and we'll keep you advised.
