Content

This course is for those who have taken Tłı̨chǫ beginner level 1 or those who some experience speaking Tłı̨chǫ Yatıı̀. Students will practice their pronunciation, deepen their vocabulary, and develop their sentence structures. In addition to learning the language, stories and cultural elements will be integrated throughout the lessons. The course material, Tłı̨chǫ Yatıı̀ eyıts’ǫ Dǫ Nàowoò, is intended for all learners of Tłı̨chǫ Yatıı̀, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike, who want to learn the language for work or for pleasure. The interactive activities will help learners communicate with elders, knowledge keepers, family members, and other members of the community. This course, which is in line with the GNWT Key Competencies of the Our Languages Curriculum at the Emergent and Beginner proficiency scales, has been designed to reflect and express the local language and culture of Tłı̨chǫ Yatıı̀ speakers who live in the NWT.
