>>The University of Arizona and Department of Language, Reading &
>>Culture invite you to the 29th American Indian Language Development
>>Institute (AILDI). AILDI 2008 will have a special focus on Native
>>teachers in the classroom and language. Special topics will include
>>NCLB & Native students, language immersion methods in the
>>classroom, Native children's literature & writing and schooling in
>>Native American communities. Our theme, Creating Spaces for
>>Indigenous Languages in Everyday Life reflects this emphasis and
>>will be highlighted with guest speakers, presentations, activities,
>>projects, and fieldtrips.
>>
>>AILDI provides a unique educational experience for teachers of
>>Native children. The AILDI format offers Native and non-Native
>>teachers the opportunity to become researchers, practitioners,
>>bilingual/bicultural curriculum specialists, and especially
>>effective language teachers. The common concern of language loss,
>>revitalization and maintenance brings educators, parents, tribal
>>leaders and community members to this university setting to study
>>methods for teaching Native languages and cultures and to develop
materials.
>>
>>AILDI offers six graduate credits or undergraduate credit hours
>>during four weeks of intensive study. Courses can be applied toward
>>regular degree programs and teacher endorsements.
