Teaching our way of life through our language
Yup'ik immersion language education
Overview
The Applied Linguistics program at the 麻豆原创, is partnering
with the Lower Kuskokwim and Lower Yukon School Districts to create materials for
Yup鈥檌k medium schools, provide training for teachers and aides, implement lesson plans
and evaluate their impact on students learning outcomes, and to develop capacity for
local leadership and control in language programming. Any materials created through
this collaboration will be shared as widely as possible in the Yup鈥檌k speaking region
in Southwest Alaska. Materials will be hosted and distributed through the schools
districts as well as through the Yupiit Piciryarait Museum and Cultural Center in
Bethel run by the Association of Village Presidents (AVCP is a regional non-profit
Native association serving fifty-six Federally Recognized Tribes in Alaska鈥檚 Yukon-Kuskokwim
Delta).
