This is a direct link to the “Language Nest Handbook for B.C. First Nations Communities“. This resource was created by the First Peoples’ Cultural Council. A “Language Nest” is the creation of a pre-school First Nations Language immersion environment. By targetting very young children, whose brains are in the high intensity zone for learning language, it is felt that a greater level of success can be achieved. Also, starting young helps to ensure that the language may continue on to become a fluid part of life. Elders are involved in the program to provide language immersion through nuturing, play, and conversations. Teachers and support staff work together with the Elders to meet the needs of the learners. In this way, the Language Nest program is truly a program that incorporates the community.
