Indiana University's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the

announce the First Biennial Symposium on Teaching Indigenous Languages of
Latin America (STILLA 2008), to take place August 14-16 at the Indiana

brings together instructors, practitioners, activists, indigenous leaders,
scholars and students whose work focuses on pedagogy and research on the
diverse languages and cultures of indigenous populations in Latin America
and the Caribbean.

 

The symposium engages participants in a hemispheric dialogue and also serves
as a permanent forum for networking and exchanging ideas, experiences and
research on pedagogical, methodological and practical issues from
cross-disciplinary perspectives. Active listening and discussion will enable
professionals from around the world to interact with leading experts in the
fields of Education, Language Policy and Planning, Theoretical Linguistics,
Latin American Studies, Applied Linguistics, Folkloristics, Ethnomusicology,
Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Linguistic Anthropology and Informatics.

 

Through multiple venues such as keynote addresses, special panels,
teleconferences, interactive workshops, round table discussions, poster
sessions and musical performances, this symposium will contribute to the
teaching, spread, maintenance, and revitalization of indigenous languages
and cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean.
