 Announcing the 29th Annual American Indian Language Development Institute

June 4 - July 2, 2008
University of Arizona

*Creating Spaces for Indigenous Languages in Everyday Life*
**


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.
