Fairbanks residents interested in learning to speak the Gwich’in language, here is a great opportunity at UAF. The class is in-person immersion based, Monday-Friday from 4-5pm. It’s scheduled at that time so that local organizations with an interest in supporting their employees to learn an Alaska Native language might consider either tuition and/or work time to support their employees to attend for the last hour of work each day.
This is part of a larger vision to produce fluent second language speakers, some of whom we hope will decide to continue on to become certified teachers that could teach in a future Preschool through 12th grade (P-12) language immersion school.
