Language nourishes the soul.
It is language which sustains a community and preserves
its culture and traditions.
Using a communicative, action-oriented approach, we
teach Blackfoot as a vital, living language in order to
preserve the unique identity, cultural history, traditions
and memory of Blackfoot peoples.

A communicative approach
Oral communication – listening and speaking – is
paramount for second-language acquisition.
If students hear it, they can say it. If students can say
it, they can read it. And if students can read it, they
can write it.

The document discusses indigenous education systems and issues with achieving Millennium Development Goal 2 of universal primary education. It notes that indigenous education systems developed over thousands of years and were tied to ancestral lands. Colonization has damaged these systems and connection to land. It recommends that the UN recognize the right to ancestral lands, declare indigenous peoples in a state of emergency, and support community-led mother-tongue education that preserves indigenous languages and culture.

Finland

isadorab

Finland has a population of over 5 million people concentrated in the southern region. One of the keys to Finland's success is its high-quality education system, which provides public investment in education and training. Finland's education system includes 9 years of compulsory primary education, after which students can choose between general and vocational secondary programs. It also has a bilingual focus, with most students learning two additional languages starting in third grade, and some schools offering content instruction in other languages through immersion or CLIL programs to further improve students' language skills. Recent international assessments show Finland remaining among the top countries in reading and science, though its math scores have declined slightly.

The document discusses the relationship between inclusive education and bilingual education in the context of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It notes that the CRPD recognizes sign language and deaf culture, and requires that the education of deaf students be delivered in the most appropriate languages and means of communication. This means bilingual or multilingual learning environments that maximize academic and social development, facilitating the learning of sign language. The ideal is for student choice in school, with investments made in developing accessible learning environments for deaf, blind and deafblind students. A matrix is presented outlining factors like language, teachers, and individual support that should be considered to fulfill students' needs in inclusive education.

Rutu Roadmap Mother Tongue Education

Rutu Foundation for Intercultural Multilingual Education

There is overwhelming evidence that bilingual children perform better, gain more self-confidence and learn the school language faster when their mother tongues are included in the classroom. The UN has encouraged mother tongue based instruction as best practice since the 1950s. Yet, implementation is rare. The result is lost opportunities, wasted talent, marginalisation, ignorance, as well as massive and growing inequality. Generations of people grow up failed by their education systems from day one. A systematic human rights failure which is likely to continue unabated unless we act now. The Rutu Roadmap: we believe that it is time for mother tongue based multilingual education becoming the norm, rather than the exception. This roadmap contains our plan on how to achieve this mission.

Heritage and Community Languages in the U.S.- Richness and Complexity French

Benoît Le Dévédec

This document discusses French heritage and community languages in the United States. It describes the long history and diversity of French speakers in places like Louisiana and Maine. While French was once widely used, de-institutionalization in the early 20th century reduced its presence. However, organizations now work to promote French education and communities. There has been a rise in French immersion and bilingual programs in U.S. schools, with over 130 public schools now offering French dual language programs. This shows how community-led initiatives can help sustain heritage languages.

English for academic purposes

R.H. V.

The document discusses the political and economic roots of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). It summarizes that EAP emerged not just from pedagogical developments but also from commercial and geopolitical interests. Specifically, it notes that [1] the British Council and U.S. private foundations/government agencies promoted English teaching abroad to develop new markets and counter communism; and [2] the needs of groups like ARAMCO to conduct oil business in English drove the early focus on English for specific purposes. The document cautions that EAP's historical accounts presented this dominance of English as natural rather than acknowledge its relationship to colonial and corporate interests.

rhea1111

This document outlines a position statement in favor of a more inclusive language policy for the general education curriculum in higher education institutions in the Philippines. It supports giving HEIs freedom to select the language of instruction as appropriate for their context rather than limiting it to just English and Filipino. It provides educational, social, linguistic, and legal reasons for this position, emphasizing that a more flexible policy embracing the country's multilingualism supports diversity, access, and international human rights standards. The position requests that CHED uphold its existing policy with a minor revision to allow other Philippine languages as mediums of instruction.

This document summarizes a study that examined the perceptions of 14 grade 6 students in the Chinese Bilingual Program in Western Canada. The study aimed to understand students' perceived language abilities, experiences speaking Chinese, understanding of multiculturalism, sense of belonging, ethnic identity, views on how bilingual education shaped their thinking, and reasons for enrolling in the program. The document provides theoretical background on bilingual education and reviews research showing that maintaining one's first language can positively impact academic and socio-psychological development, while pressures to assimilate can threaten minority students' mental health, self-esteem, and identity development.

A case for overt cultural instruction The Turkish context FINAL

Duncan Rose

This document discusses the importance of explicitly teaching culture as part of English language instruction in Turkey. It argues that culture is inherently tied to language and cannot be separated from it. For Turkish students learning English, solely teaching Anglophone cultures may be seen as imperialistic, as most students will use English to communicate with other non-native speakers rather than native English speakers. Therefore, the document recommends teaching a mix of cultures, including Turkish culture, to promote cultural awareness and sensitivity. It also notes some challenges in teaching culture, such as potential stereotyping, and stresses the need for cultural instruction to be handled sensitively given Turkish nationalism. Overall, the document argues explicit cultural instruction can motivate students and improve their English language skills.

Sami Languages in Education: Comparative Case Study of Finland and Sweden

LangOER

The document summarizes information about Sami languages in Finland and Sweden. It discusses that the Sami languages are endangered Finno-Urgric languages spoken in northern Scandinavia and Russia. It then compares pre-school, compulsory, high school, and university level education policies and practices for teaching Sami languages between Finland and Sweden. While both countries have room for improvement, Finland generally provides more opportunities for Sami language education at lower levels, but Sweden has some stronger policies and programs at higher levels. A key challenge is the lack of Sami language teachers in both countries.

The implementation of multicultural education in German language learning

Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)

Multicultural education in a diverse cultural society is one of the important aspects to be addressed in order that it is not viewed as a threat in the current era of education 4.0. This researchaims at examining the implementation of multicultural education in German language learning, especially in the Aufbaustufe A2 course. The samples of this research were second semester students of class A in the Study Program of German Language Educationwith the total of 20 students. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires, interviews and document review. The data of the results of the questionnaire, interviews, and document review were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The results of this research show that students are aware of their existence and also the existence of other students who have different cultural backgrounds. In addition, they respect their own culture even though they are also open to learning and understanding German culture.

A Comparative Analysis of English as Foreign Language Education Programmes

inventionjournals

: The purpose of this study is to examine current English as foreign language education programmes in China (Hong Kong), Finland, Southern Cyprus, Japan, and Turkey and to reveal similarities and differences between them. And, the method of this study is reviewing of literature. At the end of the study, it was concluded that these countries have different objectives of a foreign language education according to their economic, cultural, and social status. However, communication and international relations are common denominators. It was also seen that China (Hong Kong), Finland, Southern Cyprus, and Turkey start teaching English as a foreign language at young age. If it is considered that starting English as a foreign language education at an early age is an advantage, it can be seen that Japan and Turkey have disadvantage. And, Finland is the most successful country in foreign language teaching. It was reached the conclusion that supporting the individuality of a foreign language education has a major share in this success. When it was examined the approaches used in a foreign language teaching, it came to a conclusion that all countries use various methods which make students active.

Education in scandinavian countries

MasoomehVedadtaghavi

Finland prioritizes education and family support. Finnish schools are among the top in the world, with children not starting until age 7 and no grades before 8th grade. Finland also provides new parents with generous benefits like fully paid parental leave for a year and free public transportation when traveling with young children. Additionally, Finland celebrates failures on its National Day of Failure as learning experiences. English is widely studied in Finland and seen as important for participating in an increasingly globalized world, though older generations with less education tend to have weaker English skills.

Indigenous language Immersion in Canada

Faymus Copperpot

There are several forms of indigenous language education programs in Canada. Core language programs teach an indigenous language for one class period per day, while immersion programs fully integrate the indigenous language into all classes. Language nests are preschool immersion programs conducted entirely in the indigenous language. Some schools, like the Akwesasne Freedom School, are fully immersed language schools that aim to incorporate indigenous language and culture into all aspects of education to reverse cultural assimilation and ensure language survival. Bilingual programs teach students to be fluent in both an indigenous language and English. Challenges to maintaining indigenous languages include a lack of community and financial support along with few remaining fluent speakers.

Schools Should End Up Hurting American Students

Rikki Wright

The author argues that terms like "disruptive innovation" are often used imprecisely in everyday conversation. Even companies commonly referred to as disruptive, like Uber, may not truly fit the definition. This casual use of jargon terms can be misleading for corporate leaders. Rather than overreacting to calls to "disrupt or be disrupted," incumbents should carefully assess actual competitive threats on a case-by-case basis. Creating a strong corporate culture and shared values may help motivate employees in today's global business environment.

Brooke Curtis

The author argues that terms like "disruptive innovation" are often used imprecisely in everyday conversation. Even companies commonly referred to as disruptive, like Uber, may not truly fit the definition. This casual use of jargon terms can mislead corporate leaders to overreact to the idea that they must "disrupt or be disrupted." Instead, incumbents should carefully monitor changes rather than feel pressured into unnecessary actions. Precise use of language is important to have meaningful discussions about business strategies.

ijtsrd

This research work sets out to evaluate the spoken productions of foreign learners of English the case of students in the English Department of the University of Doba, i.e. students of Level One, who were 200 in number. To carry out the investigation, reading activity of a text was used to collect data. Variationism by Labov 1963 was the theory used to guide the analysis of data. The investigation arrived at the results that learners have very poor performance in the pronunciation of English sounds, which is due to the influence of French and lack of English practice. To improve the learning of EFL, students are recommended to practice English intensively and extensively.

Understanding by Design in English Language Teaching

Sheri Henderson

This document discusses Understanding by Design (UbD), a framework for designing curriculum and assessments to improve student learning and understanding. UbD involves starting with the desired results or learning outcomes, then designing assessments to measure student understanding, and finally planning lessons and activities to help students achieve those outcomes. The key principles of UbD include clarifying learning expectations, using formative and summative assessments, engaging students in their learning, and focusing on continuous improvement. Examples are provided of how to design a group project using UbD principles and how to create rubrics to guide and evaluate student work. Resources for further information on UbD and assessment design are also listed.

Blended learning combines traditional in-person classroom methods with online activities to provide structured learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. It can complement curriculum, differentiate instruction for various learning styles and abilities, provide equal access to technology, and promote collaborative learning. To implement blended learning, teachers should be willing to try different techniques like using email to practice English, learning management systems, web tools that are free, and teaching digital literacy. Blended learning builds skills for all students when implemented effectively, especially with support from an IT team.

6. The Blackfoot language is listed as “severely endangered” in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. To preserve the Ni’tsipowahsin language, the Kainai Board of Education is developing print and digital learning resources for students and teachers to position Blackfoot at the centre of its K-12 education program. In 2019, Ni’tsipowahsin immersion will begin in Kindergarten. Languages Without Borders 2019 LSF - Fredericton, New Brunswick - 4 May 2019

7. Languages Without Borders 2019 LSF - Fredericton, New Brunswick - 4 May 2019 Language nourishes the soul. It is language which sustains a community and preserves its culture and traditions. Using a communicative, action-oriented approach, we teach Blackfoot as a vital, living language in order to preserve the unique identity, cultural history, traditions and memory of Blackfoot peoples.
