Accelerated Second Language Acquisition (ASLA) for the Cree Language


The ASLA program, developed by Dr. S. Neyooxet Greymorning, is being delivered by Paula Mackinaw to teach Cree with the Miyo Wahkotowin Education Authority in Maskwacis, Alberta.

The Accelerated Second Language Acquisition (ASL) program, developed by Dr. Steven Neyooxet Greymorning, has been modified and is being delivered by Paula Mackinaw with the Miyo Wahkotowin Education Authority in Maskwacis, Alberta. The ASLA program is taught in the target language, Cree, and is very repetitive and forces the learner to think in the target language. It is all oral with many visuals. It helps students develop an identity and traditional culture. It produces thinkers and speakers of the language taught.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
