Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: speak with smooth fluency in Tuscarora to promote intergenerational language transmission (practice); the ability to articulate the principal linguistic features of a polysynthetic language from a language science perspective (theory); depth in an area of linguistic knowledge that will contribute to Indigenous language revitalization efforts (theory and practice); foundational hands-on skills in linguistic or pedagogical research related to an Indigenous language (theory to practice). Students will be able to actively participate in conversations to communicate information about themselves and topics of interest on a community or international scale. Speakers will be able to  deal with unexpected complications in social situations, narrate and describe past, present, and future events. As a listener, students will be able to understand the main ideas in conversation about general topics and compensate for limitations in their lexical or structural control through real-world knowledge and context clues. Listeners will be able to understand a range of general interest topics. When reading students can understand the main ideas in a text and use context clues to compensate for any limitations. They can understand texts with a clear and predictable structure and show independence in reading new subject matter. As a writer students can write formal and informal correspondence in past, present, and future time frames.  They can also produce a paragraph of connected discourse and show case control of frequently used writing structures. Prerequisite: Tuscarora 101 or five years experience.
