The Bachelor of Indigenous Languages and Linguistics is a unique course that informs and engages Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in language and culture. It builds your theoretical and practical knowledge and skills so you can engage in culturally-informed and accountable Indigenous language work.
During the course, you will learn about the linguistic skills and knowledge needed for appropriate and culturally-sensitive language documentation, analysis, maintenance and revival.
You will have the opportunity to develop basic language skills in an Indigenous language (eg Yolngu or Arrernte) and learn how language (and language learning) exists within cultural and social understandings and practices.
This course prepares you for Indigenous language related work, further study and research in the fields of language learning and teaching, linguistics, and Indigenous language planning and policy at local and national levels. It will give you skills to help enable effective and equitable engagement between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language cultures and languages and the broader Australian community. |
