Oral Immersion Michif I

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture | 1 hrs Lab) This course is an introduction to the Michif language in a culturally safe and supportive learning environment. The emphasis is on task and project-based immersion learning for whole language skills useful in daily and cultural life. A special focus is on the use of verbs in simple tenses in indicative, interrogative and imperative forms reflecting the complexity of Michif's verbal morphosyntax. As a class, students work on listening comprehension and oral expression skills. They also write weekly personal reflections on their learning process. In the one-hour lab students practice language structured to support the acquisition of that presented in class.
