Teaching Your Language to Others Course Spring 2026
Select > Verify > Pay

This eight-week course is designed to support and strengthen beginning Indigenous Language teachers, with a focus on teaching language in classrooms. The format includes time to share, learn, and support one another. 

The course is an introductory level overview of concepts and practices. The intended audience is teachers who are beginning their language teaching journey or who would like to revisit common practices. 

This is a stand alone, asynchronous course with weekly assignments, tasks, and office hours but no required whole-class meeting times. We will use  the course management system Canvas and Zoom for meeting with instructors. The course will open April 15, 2026 and run through June 4th, 2026. You need to engage weekly with course materials during this time! Expect to spend two to three hours per week to succeed in the course. 

Participants who attend at least 2 office hours/meetings with instructors and complete 85% of class work (readings/video viewing, reflections, short homework assignments and a project plan) will receive a certificate of attendance. All work must be fully completed and handed in by June 4th.

There are a limited number of fee waivers for the course that will be allocated on a first come first served basis to those who do not have funds available to cover the course fee. There are no more than 2 available per language program, and an individual is eligible for only one waiver for any NILI offering per year.  Email nwili@uoregon.edu if you would like to request a waiver.
