The <br>CoLang/InField training institutes take place in summers alternating with the <br>Linguistic Society of America's Institute. The participant audience at CoLang <br>2014 will include Indigenous community members, practicing linguists, graduate <br>and undergraduate students in linguistics and anthropology, archivists, and <br>language activists with an interest in documenting, maintaining, or <br>revitalizing their languages. <br> <br>Previous workshops have been hosted by the University of Kansas, the <br>University of Oregon and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Past <br>participants have gone on to great success in developing documentation and <br>revitalization projects, generating funding, and presenting results at major <br>international venues like the Linguistic Society of America Annual Meeting, <br>the Society for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas, and the <br>International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation. <br> <br>The 2014 Institute will take place at The University of Texas at Arlington <br>from June 16 to June 27, 2014. CoLang 2014 will offer courses that address <br>technological training, interdisciplinary collaborations with the sciences, <br>developing collaborative community language projects, and <br>pedagogical/teaching applications. Several foundation courses in linguistics <br>are also offered. The current list of planned courses is online at <br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><u><a href="http://www.uta.edu/faculty/cmfitz/swnal/projects/CoLang/CoLang2014-courselistv1.htm">http://www.uta.edu/faculty/cmfitz/swnal/projects/CoLang/CoLang2014-courselistv1.htm</a></u></font><div>These courses are already assigned instructors. <br> <br><br>In keeping with CoLang as a training venue that promotes exposure to <br>cutting-edge techniques and innovative approaches in language documentation <br>and revitalization, proposals for new workshop topics are being solicited. <br>Workshops should not duplicate currently planned courses. At CoLang 2014, <br>there will be two instruction formats for workshop offerings : 4-day courses <br>(6 hours total) and 2-hour workshops (2 hours total). We estimate accepting <br>approximately five new workshops of each type (ten accepted workshops from <br>this solicitation, five in 4-day format, five in 2-hour format). <br> <br>The proposal should be a maximum of 2 pages in length, and should include: <br>topic, rationale for including it as part of CoLang, proposed length (2-hour <br>or 4-day), a brief description of workshop content (general lesson plan , <br>target audience, and level, e.g., beginning, intermediate, advanced), how it <br>would be taught (balance of theory, examples, hands-on exercises), and what experience qualifies you to teach <br>it. We encourage students and language activists to apply.
