The Effects of Training in Linguistics on Teaching: K-12 Teachers in White Mountain Apache Schools

APACHE LANGUAGE, APPLIED LINGUISTICS AND CULTURE SEMINARS

As a part of the Apache Language, Applied Linguistics and Apache Culture Seminar offered in the fall, special instruction in linguistics and how it can be directly applied to teaching Apache monolingual and bilingual children is included. It was through this course that participants received linguistic knowledge grounded in the linguistic reality of the Apache community. Knowledge of these areas resulted in attitudinal changes and a paradigm shift in pedagogy. The course content includes various theories and instructional models and approaches that are grounded and tested in actual practice in the spring semester. The team instructors, Carrasco and Riegelhaupt, help to process theoretical knowledge by encouraging teacher trainees to put such knowledge into practice; they are involved in directly training, assisting and observing teachers in their own classrooms, in their milieu during the spring semester when these NAU professors serve as participant-observers as teachers begin to explore and apply innovative strategies related to linguistic knowledge acquired in the Language and Culture Seminar. These observations also serve as areas of discussion for the seminars using etic (outsider) and emic (insider) perspectives.
