The Syilx Language House Association (SLHA) are reporting midway through the third year of their four-year language program. They are delivering best-practices and community language priorities. Their mission is to create advanced speakers and record Elders. They owe their success to the Paul Creek Curriculum and to commitment—of their students and teachers, of their Bands, and leadership for believing in this program. They have the highest student retention seen in any language program, let alone an advanced program. Students show exceptional speaking ability, creativity, vocabulary, grammar, a sense of confidence, and cultural knowledge. All eleven are well on our way to becoming mid- to high-intermediate speakers and a new family of learners. It is an honour to record and partner with twelve fluent Elders and publish a book of stories each year.
