(Ottawa, ON) July 13, 2021 – The LHF is proud to announce the release of the sixth podcast episode in our new series called, Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization. Today’s entry is with Emily Angulalik, an Inuk from Cambridge Bay, who teaches Inuinnaqtun to adults at Nunavut Arctic College.

Emily Angulalik shares with listeners her methods and approach to teaching Inuinnaqtun to adults. Inuinnaqtun is a close relative language to Inuktitut. In teaching it, she uses an approach guided by cultural principles. Students in her classroom are welcomed into a safe environment for language learning. This is particularly important for an Indigenous language classroom where learners could experience a range of emotions from intergenerational traumas. Join in and have a listen as Emily Angulalik offers practical advice and explains how she engages language teaching through culture to create a language learning approach that is effective and healing for Indigenous language learners.

“It is impossible to separate culture from language learning. This is particularly clear in this interview. Emily Angulalik’s warmth and knowledge as a teacher and someone deeply passionate about her language comes through clearly and makes this a very enjoyable and informative listen,” said LHF’s Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel, Teresa Edwards.
