About this listen

In this episode, we hear from a guest who shares their professional experience in supporting adult silent speakers from an organizational perspective and the best practices learned from within community programming to best support silent speakers. Dr. Suzanne Gessner’s research interests are focused on community-based Indigenous language revitalization in several areas: language policy and language rights; program evaluation and fluency assessment; and latent speakers (receptive bilingualism). We are honoured to have Suzanne with us to share her experience with silent speakers in BC First Nations with a program developed called ‘Reclaiming My Language’ - https://fpcc.ca/program/reclaiming-my-language/
