This is also the situation in science teaching. Several studies have shown that children learn best when taught in their own mother languages. Teaching in these languages necessitates translation of science terms and concepts into Indigenous languages. Using quantum mechanics, a field in modern physics and my mother tongue, isiNguni, as an example, I have developed translation strategies and suggested practical approaches to create science vocabulary in isiNguni. It is shown that it is feasible to apply direct borrowing with localisation and semantic extension in developing new physics vocabulary. Several examples of translated science terms and concepts in isiNguni are provided. Selected paragraphs on electron spin from a frequently used undergraduate physics textbook are translated into isiNguni. In the Appendices, the Compton effect experiment is presented in three languages accompanied by a vocabulary. African countries need to revise their language and education policies so that maximum use of the Indigenous languages and the future relevance of these languages in science and technology are ensured. Teaching physics and other science subjects in the mother tongues of both teachers and students will improve science literacy, comprehension, and interest in the field. Africa should embrace science and technology to contribute to new knowledge.","PeriodicalId":229683,"journal":{"name":"WINHEC: International Journal of Indigenous Education Scholarship","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128149730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indigenization efforts often embrace the transfer of Indigenous languages as one of the critical pieces of Indigenous knowledge rejuvenation. However, for many Indigenous peoples, learning an Indigenous language brings up pain associated with family history and the legacy of residential schools. Language reclamation in a university environment occurs within the ongoing impact of colonial oppression and historic trauma transmission and therefore requires a trauma-informed approach. Based on qualitative research conducted at the University of Guelph with a goal to learn about the current Indigenous language education needs and challenges of the campus community, this paper explores a language revitalization strategy that accommodates different motivations and types of interest in Indigenous language learning as opposed to a “one size fits all” approach. The findings of the study point to a self-directed, non-penalty learning model aligned with Indigenous pedagogies. Within this model, language learning occurs in the right circumstances and at an appropriate time while respecting different levels of motivation and varied capacities for knowledge intake. The paper examines how an academic institution can shape the future directions in post-secondary Indigenous language programming by creating supports that address the impacts of intergenerational trauma and respond to diverse learning needs.","PeriodicalId":229683,"journal":{"name":"WINHEC: International Journal of Indigenous Education Scholarship","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116265603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
