Online Haida Language Course, Spring 2008

[Jordan Lachler]

*AKL 107-JD1:  ELEMENTARY HAIDA I*

4 Credits
Spring 2008
Instructor: Dr. Jordan Lachler

This course is an introduction to the Haida language as spoken in Alaska.
The
course focuses on developing a core vocabulary of several hundred words, as
well as
an understanding of many of the basic grammatical patterns in the language.
Students will learn how to make statements, ask and answer questions, give
descriptions of people and things, and talk about activities in both the
past and the
present.

This is a web-based course, meaning that all instruction will be carried out
on the
internet.  All course materials, including written lessons, audio files,
interactive
language games, grammatical exercises and homework assignments will be
available through the course website.  Students will also be able to
interact with
each other and the instructor through discussion forums, email and other
means
throughout the semester. Students will not need any special computer
equipment,
aside from speakers, and all the software needed for the class is available
free of
charge.

This is the first web-based course for any of our native languages in
Southeast
Alaska, and we are very excited about the possibilities that this new
technology
presents for helping us to reach more and more students interested in
learning the
Haida language, especially those living outside of Southeast.

The course begins the week of January 14th, and continues though May 2nd.
