Which finding, if true, would most strongly support the researchers' prediction? In the 'language nest' model of education, Indigenous children learn the language of their people by using it as the medium of instruction and socialization at pre-K or elementary levels. In their 2016 study of a school in an Anishina abe community in Ontario, Canada, scholars Lindsay Morcom and Stephanie Roy (who are Anishinaabe themselves) found t hat the model not only imparted fluency in the Anishinaabe language but also enhanced students' pride in Anishinaa be culture overall. Given these positive effects, Morcom and Roy predict that the model increases the probability that as adults, former students of the school will transmit the language to younger generations in their community.
