NISHNAABEMWIN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTOR INSTITUTE
OJIBWE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION
The Nishnaabemwin Language Instructor Institute (NLII) is designed to
encourage and promote the understanding and preservation of the Ojibwe
language and prepares the student to function as a language instructor.
It is also designed to enhance students’ cultural awareness and
offer the student the opportunity to develop a functional command of the
Nishnaabemwin language, which can be further expanded through additional
study or through contact with other speakers of the language. Students
will gain an understanding of the structure of the language, learn pedagogical
principles and methods and techniques for teaching Nishnaabemwin.
This diploma program utilizes a holistic approach, which integrates
and incorporates the language throughout all courses. Instruction will
be completed in 80%, 90%, and 100% immersion of the Ojibwe language
respectively for years I, II, and III. This diploma requires three intensive
six-week summer immersion sessions in Ojibwe language development and
teaching methods. Students who complete the three NLII summer programs
and follow up weekend sessions (Dagwaagi, Biboon, and Minookami) will
receive a BMCC Diploma of Ojibwe Language Instruction Nishnaabemwin.
