Description
Summary:	This is one of a series of handbooks designed to assist classroom teachers, bilingual-bicultural education and special education program staff, counselors, and school administrators in instructional services for students from native Alaskan language groups. The unique sociocultural and linguistic characteristics of Yup'ik speakers as they relate to the school setting are addressed in this volume. Educational resources such as recommended readings; a listing of school districts enrolling students from this group; and sources of information, materials, and instructional assistance are provided. A map shows the distribution of Eskimo languages throughout the Arctic and a prefatory section discusses the study of language in general. Subsequent sections address these topics: the Aleut-Eskimo language family and the place of Yup'ik in it, dialects within languages, literacy and education in Central Yup'ik, the Yup'ik writing system, bilingual education, a comparison of Yup'ik and English (phonology, grammar, local English, Yup'ik-influenced English, discourse and nonverbal communication, linguistic borrowing, the Yup'ik numeral system, and the teacher's role), and the Yup'ik Eskimo culture. A Yup'ik alphabet chart, lists of resources, and enrollment data are also included. (MSE)
