The goal of the Certificate in Indigenous Language Proficiency (CILP) program is to support Indigenous communities to create new adult speakers, by providing a strong foundation in language learning and language learning methods that will support ongoing language acquisition. This new Certificate offered through the Department of Indigenous Education at the 番茄社区, is delivered in community contexts, draws on and upholds local knowledge and expertise, and situates learning in communicative contexts.

This certificate is a credential on its own, or can ladder into the Diploma in Indigenous Language Revitalization and Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Language Revitalization. Each delivery is co-designed and administered in partnership with an Indigenous community.

Program delivery:

The CILP is offered as part of a laddered approach to a Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Language Revitalization.
