International Mother Language Day

Today is International Mother Language Day and it seems appropriate to send a huge shout-out to our languages and linguistics colleagues:

Thank you for your passion for the cause and for your dedication to preserving and promoting Indigenous languages today and every day!

Please find attached the poster for our First Nations Language Instructors’ Certificate Program, offered in partnership with Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre at our Saskatoon Campus. Please feel free to share it with anyone who is interested in enrolling in the course and joining the effort to ensure our Mother Languages are cherished and protected.

The Summer Institute (INCA 200) is a core-required course in the INCA program, and is a 6-credit-hour course.

It is only offered in the summer—the course dates for 2016 are Monday, May 9 to Friday, June 24, 2016. The course times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.

You can also register in the INCA Internship (INCA 290) from July 4 to the end of August. The Internship is also 6-credit-hours, so you can complete 12-credit-hours over the course of the Spring/Summer semester. (For the purpose of student loans and some band funding programs, registering in 12 credit hours makes you eligible for funding–but check with your funder. If you require a confirmation letter, text me at 306-536-8069.)

INCA 200 and 290 are open to all students who are eligible to register at the University of Regina–especially Film and pre-Journalism students, for whom INCA 200 is recommended by their programs.

Students can also register as Casual students. If you want to complete only the INCA Summer Institute (INCA 200) this is a great option. For information and instructions, go to http://www.uregina.ca/cce/student-services/admitted/admission.html
