Teaching
Native Languages With Respect
From the web site, "Students
need to relate directly to the language, not to the teacher, and they need
to do this with a sense of confidence and discovery....The real authorities
in language learning are the children we were when we learned our first
language." From the Dakota
Language Home Page web site.
