Ministry of Resources and Development; University of Oregon. Micronesia and South Pacific ProgramThe Marshall Islands, once self sufficient in food production, have become dependent on imported foods. In addition to the economic problems created by this situation, the Marshallese people suffer a high incidence of malnutrition and diet-related diseases. In an effort to address these problems, the Ministry of R&D, Agriculture Division has developed its Replanting for Self-Reliance Program with the following goals: • Promote opportunities for increased production of basic staple crops. • Promote higher yielding varieties of root crops and improved fruit tree varieties. • Provide training and technical assistance in the crop scheme.Item Open Access Lwen Wolena Kosrae! Workbook and Lab Manual(University of Oregon, Micronesia and South Pacific Program, 1994) Kinnaman, Sydney G.Lwen Wolena Kosrae! is a self-directed introduction to Kosraean language and culture. It has been specifically developed for technical assistants and anthropology students from the University of Oregon who will be working on a variety of projects on Kosrae and who want to gain some language and cultural background before they go to Micronesia. The course materials, which include this workbook, an audio cassette and a video tape, are designed for the student to view the video first and then work through the workbook with the accompanying audio tape.Item Open Access Kaselehlia Pohnpei! Workbook and Lab Manual: Lesson Two(University of Oregon, Micronesia and South Pacific Program, 1992) Kinnaman, Sydney G.; Peterson, Ray; University of Oregon. Yamada Language CenterKaselehlia Pohnpei divides into a video component, an audio component and a workbook and lab manual. Together they form an integrated package for learning conversational Pohnpeian. Each video first presents elicitations of language samples from a native speaker. Learners then have a chance both to hear the language demonstrated and to repeat it. We then see the language played out in a continuing story that incorporates the language sample into a natural setting. It is not expected that every word on the video be immediately understood. Rather, the function of the video is to acquaint the learner with the sound and rhythm of the language and to provide opportunities to see and hear it spoken authentically. It is the audio tapes and workbook exercises that provide the bulk of the comprehension and production practice with the language introduced in the video. Learners may also find the glossed videoscripts of the episodes interesting and useful for additional investigation into the language. We have also included cultural notes for each scene which might be useful for understanding the context of the language presented.Item Open Access Kaselehlia Pohnpei workbook and lab manual(University of Oregon, Micronesia and South Pacific Program, 1991) Kinnaman, Sydney G.; Peterson, Ray; University of Oregon.
