First of all I would like to wish our se
lected staff who will be attending AILDI, at
University of Arizona, a safe and prosperous
journey in their efforts to learn more about
teaching language. Buford Johnson, Elaine
Clements, and Valerie Agiular will be funded
by the Charter School Grant to futher develop
their skills in Curriculum Development of Na
tive American Languages at Tucson, Arizona.
They will be gone for the whole month of June,
participating in a very intense curriculum
development study courses. We will be look
ing forward to them bringing back skills that
will help futher the Wasco language develop
ment. As we continue to do what we can to
saturate the community with language, we
hope that you are enjoying what we have been
doing with the three languages. In the process
we would like to have more input from the
community as to what they would like to see
more of. Or other suggestions and comments
are very much appreciated. We know that we
have many critics out there and we would like
to include all of the input possible that would
help to revive and maintain our languages.
Although we are selective with some of the
sensitive materials suggested for development,
we still would like to address more of what the
community would appreciate seeing and learn
ing. The Language Program is sending out a
questionnaire for past participants of the lan
guage program. Please fill it out and send back
to the program as soon as possible, or call with
the information as soon as you have it in your
hands. The Language Program appreciates
every thing that community has to say (posi
tive or negative), because it gives us more
room for growth to become a better program
for the community. For those that do not
receive the questionnaire, we have included it
here for you to have your input:
What other subjects would you like to learn id
your language of choice?
Is there a better day, or time for you to take
language classes? If yes, When?
Any other SuggestionsComments?
You can return this back to the Language Pro
gram office, or Mail to: Language Program, PO
Box 775, Warm Springs, Or 97761. Or call
in with your information to 553-2200 or 2201
