The Neurolinguistic Approach (NLA) to learning language builds networks in the brain that allow learners to develop their language skills naturally. Five principles support the NLA and the approach requires a lot of oral work. Learners are provided with models of sentences (at the beginning, fairly simple sentences) that they need, so that they may communicate in the language in authentic, real, situations (adapted from Netten and Germain, 2012).
Implications of the 5 Principles
The five principles of the NLA have implications for teaching. Learners must do most of the talking (work) in order for their brains to develop the patterns. Quiet listening is not enough.

Indigenous language instruction in high school will be based on the Our Languages curriculum.
Entrance
Students can enter OLC-20 after they have successfully completed OLC 10. Both courses can be taught at the same time with different expectations from students.
Minimum Requirements
Students must successfully pass OLC-20 and obtain a 16 on the Oral Proficiency Assessment scale to register into OLC-30. If students pass the course but do not obtain 16 on the OPA, they will be given three credits named OLC-10a. They will be encouraged to take a second course at the grade 20 level called OLC-20b.
