| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this project is to support the seldomly discussed demographic of adult immersion, namely the instructors. The question asked is: How can we best assist current and prospective instructors of Kanyen’kéha adult immersion schools and how can we make it easier for them to use the available pedagogical materials (the “textbook”) in terms of timeline, sequencing, and teaching methods? To answer this question, I created a teacher manual, Shakotirihonnyén:ni Karihonnyenníhtshera, designed to accompany the textbook of the first year immersion program of Onkwawenna Kentyohkwa. The 1st Year Program textbook contains 1000 immersion classroom hours of content and is divided into individual units of cumulative content. Shakotirihonnyén:ni Karihonnyenníhtshera makes the textbook more accessible for instructors by telling them when and how to teach features and vocabulary, what classroom practices to use to maximize results, how to run drills in the classroom, how to provide corrective feedback, and other useful information essential to running an adult immersion program. This project establishes the need for this How-To guide for instructors at Onkwawenna Kentyohkwa, provides an analysis of the manual, including how it came to be and how it can be improved upon in the future, and discusses its value for current and future program replication efforts. | |
