Course details
Cree 300 is designed to teach students the Cree Syllabic system and its origins. With the help of Elders/Mentors/Language Keepers, students will be assisted in hearing, recognizing, reproducing specific sounds contained in each Syllabic used in writing the spoken Cree words already known and the new Cree words they are learning to say. The four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) essential to mastering a language, will be facilitated by using Syllabics. In addition, the Syllabic sound system will enhance students’ capacity to accurately write the Standard Roman Orthography (SRO) currently in use. Students will be able to read and write Syllabics and transliterate into SRO and vice versa.
