Research is now telling us that young people who get the chance to be educated in their mother-tongue actually learn English better, and they also do better in school," said [Bear Nicholas]. "It makes it a win-win situation, especially when you add that our languages may survive which in not happening now. Our languages are disappearing so rapidly that a lot of people are throwing their hands up in the air and thinking we just need to do more of what we've been doing. However, what we've been doing hasn't been working," she added. "But it is still their mother-tongue, and everybody in the world has the right to their mother-tongue language," said Bear Nicholas.

The paper is on communicative competence from sociolinguistic perspective. Firstly the author introduces the concept of competence by Chomsky and communicative competence by Hymes and further analysis of communicative competence by Canale and Swain. To succeed in cross culture communication, the interlocutors should be equipped with social culture and sociolinguistic abilities. At the same time, the problems with cross-culture communication are also identified. Lack of real communicative environment and most of foreign language learning is in the classroom. It's important for instructors to remedy the situation. Practical solutions to those problems are also proposed, Role-play is particularly effective in drawing learner's attention to sociolinguistic aspects and making parallel compar...

Our youth struggle with so many of the same issues that our elders suffered from for decades -- the loss of our culture and the pride that went with it. Urban First Nations youth have learned from modern Canadian society to be ashamed of who they are. Many have not had the benefit of elders who can remind them of their proud history and powerful spiritual beliefs. They have not witnessed elders in the community quietly demonstrating respect for themselves and others. They have not had the opportunity to formally approach an elder with a gift of tobacco and learn how to listen deeply. Our First Nations elders are not ceremonial. They sometimes perform ceremonial services to remind us of the deep spiritual connection between our culture and our Mother Earth. But they are much more than t...

A number of factors have come into play that have prevented many Aboriginal people from learning an Aboriginal language as their first language, [Mary Jane Norris] said. Traditionally, Aboriginal languages were passed from generation to generation, with parents teaching their language to their children. The residential school system, where students were often forbidden from speaking their traditional Aboriginal languages, played a role in disrupting the intergenerational transmission of language, Norris explained, as did the growing prevalence of English and French in the daily lives of Aboriginal people, linguistic intermarriage, and the increase in migration of Aboriginal people between Aboriginal communities and urban centres. The picture is even more discouraging when the number of ...

[Brigitte]'s emotions are related to a cultural feature of American society and her native country; that is, there is a structural reality of linguistic differences between countries that causes Brigitte and all non-English mother tongue immigrants to have to struggle with language learning and cope with the frustrations that arise from this. But her emotions ultimately derive from the meaning she imputes to this cultural feature; that is, her emotions can be explained by the meaning that living in America versus living in Switzerland has for Brigitte. Speaking English all the time does not mean, for example, having an opportunity to perfect a language, but rather it means not being able to relax, and "livfing] on his terms." Similarly, her interpretation of how she speaks to people in ...
We've needed it for a long time," said 73-year-old Daisy Fagnan, a member of the board of KeKiNan -- Cree for "our home. "We know that in the city of Winnipeg aboriginal seniors have all kinds of barriers in getting safe and affordable housing," said [Lucille Bruce]. "Language has always been a barrier" for elders whose mother tongue is indigenous, she said. "We know many current assisted-living centres or housing facilities for seniors don't have a culturally relevant approach to working with seniors," said Bruce. "This seniors residence is going to have (it) built right in."

The ministry investment is intended for early childhood development programming in British Columbia. The funds are to be used by the First Peoples' Cultural Foundation in Brentwood Bay, and dispersed at their discretion. The non-profit organization partners with the First Peoples' Heritage, Language and Culture Council in an effort to revitalize and preserve First Nations languages. The grant addresses the long-standing issue of a loss of traditional culture amongst First Nation communities. The funds are intended to assist in instilling valuable Native language skills in children, with hopes that they use their mother tongue throughout their lives. British Columbia houses more than 60 per cent of Canada's Aboriginal languages, and many are understood to be on the verge of extinction or...
