Curriculum design and evaluation are therefore key factors in ensuring that such educational initiatives are successful. However, the precise sociocultural and political situation of endangered languages often preclude the simple replication of a curriculum developed for a language of wider communication for use within the endangered language classroom. This conference invites papers that reflect on these issues: How should conventions designed for dominant languages be modified in the endangered language context? To what extent should curriculum design and evaluation be situated within the social and cultural practices of the endangered language speech community? How should the short- and long-term goals of curriculum design and evaluation be assessed in the context of endangered languages? Who is best placed to design and to evaluate the curriculum for endangered languages – the linguist or the community? Are the goals of an endangered language curriculum simply to obtain fluency or should they be broader in scope? How should the approaches used in the design and evaluation of an endangered language curriculum take account of contextual factors? What problems arise for curriculum design and evaluation in multidialectal and/or multinational contexts? What pedagogical materials are necessary for the successful implementation and evaluation of an endangered language curriculum?</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Further details, together with the Call for Papers (deadline is <a dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">April 4th</a>) and Registration, are now available at the conference website:</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><a href="http://www.mml.cam.ac.uk/news/sixth-cambridge-conference-language-endangerment" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">http://www.mml.cam.ac.uk/news/sixth-cambridge-conference-language-endangerment</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">We are delighted to announce that this year, the conference will be preceded by a postgraduate workshop <a dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">on July 5th</a> (deadline for abstracts is <a dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)">April 30th</a>)</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><a href="http://groups.ds.cam.ac.uk/celc/graduate_workshop.html" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">http://groups.ds.cam.ac.uk/celc/graduate_workshop.html</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">With best wishes,</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">Mari Jones and Damien Mooney</span></div></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Dr James Hawkey<div>Lecturer in Spanish Linguistics</div><div>Department of Hispanic, Portuguese and Latin American Studies</div><div>School of Modern Languages</div><div>University of Bristol</div><div><a href="tel:%2B44%20%280%29117%20331%207170" value="+441173317170" target="_blank">+44 (0)117 331 7170</a></div><div><a href="http://www.bristol.ac.uk/sml/people/james-w-hawkey/overview.html" target="_blank">http://www.bristol.ac.uk/sml/people/james-w-hawkey/overview.html</a> </div><div><a href="http://jameshawkey.jimdo.com" target="_blank">http://jameshawkey.jimdo.com</a></div><div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
