- HID 110 – Hidatsa Phonology I A linguistic understanding of Hidatsa is essential to teaching the language knowledgably and being effective in the classroom. Proper teaching of Hidatsa is dependent on a firm foundation in the sound system and rules of a language. This course is the primary linguistic introduction to the Hidatsa phonetic system– its sounds and writing system. The week-long course will be devoted to an overview of the Hidatsa phonetic system and will focus on training consistency in writing the language. Special emphasis will be on developing a basic, technical linguistic understanding of Hidatsa phonology

- ARK 211 – Arikara Syntax I This course offers an introduction to Arikara sentence structure or syntax. In order to be effective instructors, language teachers need to have a good understanding of the various grammatical features of the target language. The ability to build a sentence following the syntactic rules of the target language is one of the fundamental skills needed for advanced language proficiency. Good usage of grammar and syntax in particular is the necessary step towards the ability to express oneself idiomatically, i.e., to express oneself through what native speakers refer to as "Arikara thinking".
