(Ottawa, ON) August 17, 2021 – La LHF est fière d'annoncer la sortie du huitième épisode de podcast de notre nouvelle série intitulée, Voix de la terre : les peuples autochtones parlent revitalisation de la langue. Today’s talk is with Michele K. Johnson, a member of the Okanagan Indian Band, who teaches N̓syilxčn̓, a Salish language.

Michele K. Johnson has a PhD in Indigenous language revitalization from the University of British Columbia. She uses her knowledge and experience to teach N̓syilxčn̓ in a ‘language house’ model. In this interview, Michele unpacks a lot of the practical strategies that have proven successful in her experiences both learning and teaching her language. Teachers looking to learn more about assessment in Indigenous language learning, the importance of curriculum, and carrying out community Indigenous language programs will find this interview very interesting.

“So many practical recommendations tested and proven in an Indigenous community language program make this interview another great and rewarding listen in our series for Indigenous language teachers,” said LHF’s Executive Director and In-House Legal Counsel, Teresa Edwards.

The LHF works to encourage people to address discrimination and injustice in order to contribute to the equity, dignity, and respectful treatment of Indigenous Peoples and to foster Reconciliation.
