Online Summer Program

The University of Alberta is thrilled to present the 21st annual Summer School of the Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute in 2020. Learn an Indigenous language or gain expertise in the areas of linguistics, endangered language documentation and revitalization, language and literacy learning, second language teaching and curriculum development, and language policy and planning. This program provides a unique opportunity to earn university credit while learning about Indigenous languages and culture. Some CILLDI courses lead to a Community Linguist Certificate (CLC).

For information about the CILLDI Provost Bursary, go to the Funding Opportunities page. To learn about how you can volunteer for the Summer Program, see the Summer Internship page.

Location: Online

Course Offerings: Courses will be offered in either 3-week or 6-week online course formats. Students may register for a maximum of two courses (6 credits) from the courses listed below. Courses marked by CLC lead to the Community Linguist Certificate.
