The LHF is proud to announce the release of the fifth podcast episode in our new series called, Voices from the Land: Indigenous Peoples Talk Language Revitalization. Today’s entry is with Mabel Metallic, a Mi’gmaq language teacher from Listuguj in Quebec.
Mabel has been teaching since 1999, and she has taught her traditional language in various contexts, including in school, in community programs, and at home, and with adults and children. She has also worked hard to raise her own children in the language.
From her years of experience and many different language-teaching contexts, including raising her own children in the language, Mabel Metallic shares many practical best practices and recommendations for improving Indigenous language outcomes for children. Teachers, and parents wanting to raise their children in the language, will get a lot out of this episode.
