Course Details
|
|
The overall goal of the course is to provide the student with the ability to comprehend a series of short fluent texts in the Halq'eméylem language. Students will learn to take active and collaborative roles in text and vocabulary analysis, story translation, and sound descriptions. At the end of the course, students will be able to follow three short stories independent of any translation. Student familiarity with vocabulary and structure will be strong enough that they can produce their own, slightly simplified, versions of the stories. Students will have formed a solid foundation for approaching any fluent text in the language. Students will also have spent time being mentored in an online chat with a fluent Elder, and will have a solid foundation in online mentoring methodology.
