KWA - 097 Introduction to Kwak’wala II

3 Credit(s)
Students will learn basic conversation, structure, and pronunciation with an emphasis on listening and speaking during immersion sets that increase in length and complexity throughout the course. The units will cover a wide variety of themes, including greetings, social interaction, household activities, community, environment of the beach and forest, place names, food harvesting and preparation and cultural activities. Combined, these encompass the way of life of the Kwakwaka‘wakw and give insight to how Kwak’wala is essential to who we are and how Kwak’wala guides our relationships with self, the land, sea, sky, sacred realms, community, and society. Students will be introduced to learner strategies and methods that are advantageous for Indigenous language acquisition.
