Subject: Call for Proposals - Institute on Collaborative Language Research

 CoLang is a five-week summer institute focused on language documentation,
maintenance, and revitalization.  We are currently soliciting proposals for
workshops to be offered at CoLang 2018.

We are soliciting proposals for workshops in language documentation, language
maintenance, and language revitalization to be held as part of CoLang,  the
Institute on Collaborative Language Research. The CoLang training institutes
take place in summers alternating with the Linguistic Society of America's
Institute. The participant audience at CoLang 2018 will include Indigenous
community members, practicing linguists, graduate and undergraduate students
in linguistics and anthropology, archivists, and language activists with an
interest in documenting, maintaining, or revitalizing their languages.

The 2018 Institute will take place at University of Florida from June 18 to
July 20, 2018. The current list of planned courses is online at
https://colang.lin.ufl.edu/home/colang-2018-courses/. These courses are
already assigned instructors.

We are seeking proposals for new four-day workshop topics. Workshops should
not duplicate currently planned courses.  Workshops are offered during the
first two weeks of CoLang 2018 (June 18-22, June 25-29). Each workshop meets
Monday-Thursday for one and half hours per day, for a total of six hours of
instruction.

The proposal should be a maximum of 2 pages in length, and should include:
topic, rationale for including it as part of CoLang, a brief description of
workshop content (general lesson plan, target audience, and level, e.g.,
beginning, intermediate, advanced), how it would be taught (balance of theory,
examples, hands-on exercises), and what experience qualifies you to teach it.
We encourage students and language activists to apply. For an example of
workshop titles and descriptions from a previous institute, go to
https://www.alaska.edu/colang2016/courses/.

Travel and room and board will be covered for instructors, and a modest
honorarium provided.

Questions should be directed to George Aaron Broadwell, Co-Director of the
2018 Institute on Collaborative Research at broadwell at ufl.edu. Completed
proposals should be submitted as a PDF to colang2018 at gmail.com.
