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.

Our Languages Report Card
OLC received Ministerial Approval in 2020: This was a significant milestone, and it reflects the hard work and collaboration of everyone involved. Part of the involvement of the writing of the curriculum was also the method of reporting on assessment. Since OLC was the first competency driven curriculum and already had a proficiency scale for assessment co-developed with Indigenous governments through their Regional Indigenous Languages Coordinators (RILCs) ECE will not be changing the proficiency scale. However, reporting has been transferred to PowerSchool.
Beaufort Delta Education Council and South Slave Education Council Contributions: The testing and piloting carried out by the Beaufort Delta has been crucial in shaping the OLC. Afterwards, the South Slave made additional recommendations. We are grateful for the testing and piloting that both regions have done in cooperation with ECE. Their support has paved the way for successful implementation across the NT.
Access for OLC Teachers: All OLC teachers in NT schools have access to the setup in their PowerTeacher Pro gradebooks. OLC teachers will be able to start entering information at the start of the school year.
Historical Information in PowerSchool: The information entered by OLC teachers will now be stored in PowerSchool as historical data. Additionally, it will appear on the report card that is being added to the servers. This report card contains all the regular course grades and comments along with the OLC in one document.
