Course Details
|
|
This course is intended for advanced learners of St'át'imcets and will continue on from STLG 360 Mentoring 1. The focus will be on gathering St'át'imc language and culture information from a Language Elder Mentor (Mentor) in informal and natural settings thereby providing opportunities for the student to advance their use of St'át'imcets in everyday settings. The course will develop advanced vocabulary and grammatical skills in St'át'imcets through individualized practice with a Mentor. At the start of the course each student will work with her/his Mentor to establish and agree upon goals and objectives to be achieved through the course work (the Student Agreement). The Student Agreement will then serve as the basis for evaluation as the student progresses through the course. Enrolment in this course requires the prior approval of the Upper St'át'imc Language and Culture Authority.
