University of Victoria.https://hdl.handle.net/1828/22525This report presents findings from a three-part research study exploring the use and impact of the NEȾOLṈEW̱ Language Learning Assessment Tool (AT) in Indigenous language revitalization contexts. Drawing on the experiences of language learners, teachers, and other language practitioners, the study highlights how the AT has been utilized in language work across different settings, what its strengths and challenges are, and how it could be updated to strengthen its role in adult language learning. The report offers key insights and recommendations to guide the continued development and adaptation of assessment tools that align with community-led approaches to language reclamation.The NEȾOLṈEW̱ Language Learning Assessment Tool was developed in 2016 as part of the original NEȾOLṈEW̱ Research Partnership, which focused on the mentor-apprentice program. In the second phase of the NEȾOLṈEW̱ Assessment Project (2023-2025), we sought to understand how assessment tools can support language learning, how this tool has been used, and how it could be improved.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalassessment toollanguage journeyassessment journey toolIndigenous languagesIndigenous language revitalizationIndigenous language resurgenceReportDepartment of Indigenous Education
