TSM will focus on the cre ation of at least 5 Warm Springs tribal member college/ high school age teachers who have already commtted to the project This project has no participant limit and the project is open to create up to 40 speakers. How ever, the goal of TSM is to develop future teachers who can that can perpetuate the language. This project will produce intermediate-low to intermediate-mid speakers (using the american Council on the Teaching of Foreign languages (ACTFL) scale) which meets the require ments for a bachelor-of-arts second leanguage learning for the Oregon University system. Using the Where Are Your Keys? techniques of acceler ated learning we intend to create a road map based on a scale of zero to fluent for the Numu Language cur riculum. Tribal teenagers, or “teachers-in-training,” will be taught to gacefully solicit specific grammatical language structure from a fluent elder using everyday objects and immersive conversational speech. These teachers in taining will use this information to create short, teachable, total physical response language lessons that are delivered in memorable, buildable bite sized pieces or games. Each of these lessons can be then taught to other members of the community within the context of daily life. This experiential learning/ teaching activity will train students to engae with elders in fluent conversations in the target language (Numu) while constantly working as a collaborative team to solicit more complete and complex language. Once a new piece of language is identified and understood, teachers in training are expected to teach the other members of the team Teachers will learn as a group to efficiently elicit the language from the fluent speaker (pulling) at the same time they are gaining direct teaching experience by (pushing) the new piece of language off. These are a few of the dances you can have fun learning: Butterfly Dance, Paddle Dance, Proposal Dance, Drop the Handkerchief Dance, Cougar Dance, Hobo Dance, Indian Charleston, and m any more For information, call 5 5 3 -3 2 9 0 ask for Suzie Slockish or Merle Kirk What are you oing to do there?
