该证书旨在培养学生了解失语，保持和恢复的各种复杂动态变化，同时为原住民社区工作提供实用性策略，以维护和复兴它们濒临消失的语言。我们尊重传统知识和实践，认识到各种社区的多样化需求，为语言复兴活动和语言学，教育学，文化资源的管理提供坚实的基础。
The goal of the Certificate Program is to develop understanding of the complex dynamics of language loss, maintenance, and recovery while also providing practical strategies for work in Aboriginal communities to preserve and revitalize threatened languages. This program is designed to honour traditional knowledge and practices, to recognize and accommodate the realities and needs of diverse communities, and to provide a foundation for both language revitalization activities and for further study in linguistics, education, and/or cultural resource Management.
