New Songs Added to Tusaalanga

July 13, 2007

Pirurivk has added Inuktitut songs as a new learning feature on the Tusaalanga website. The four songs were taken from Leena Evic's popular CD of children's music, Inuttaqalauqpuq.

The songs are accessed through the "DIALOGUES" link that appears at the top of the Home Page. The songs appear as follows:

  • inngiusit - matuikkik, matukkik
  • inngiusit - Nutarautillunga
  • inngiusit - aqqutialuk surappuq
  • inngiusit - Pattagissi

As part of Pirurvik's delivery of its Inuktitut Second Language Program, instructors use songs to help learners memorize vocabulary and master the rhythm of the language. Students responded with enthusiasm. As a result, Pirurvik decided to make music a feature of its Tusaalanga website.
