The Certificate in Indigenous Language Proficiency (CINLP) builds conversational and literacy skills in a particular Indigenous language, for students who want to teach the language in schools or strengthen it for cultural or professional reasons. It is delivered in-community only and can be completed full- or part-time.
Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences | Department: Department of Linguistics | Duration: Full- or part-time; 27 units | Study mode: full-time | Location: Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
The 27-unit certificate requires at least 12 units in the Indigenous language itself, including Practical Phonetics for Indigenous Languages, Introduction to Indigenous Language I and II, Introduction to Grammar in an Indigenous Language (or Introduction to Linguistics), and Indigenous Language Immersion courses.
The programme is offered in-community only and requires prior agreement with INLP. Fluent speakers may gain advanced placement through course challenge for up to nine units, assessed by an instructor in the language with department approval. Standard university admission applies.
Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
Duration: Full- or part-time; 27 units
