Call for Papers

Special Issue: Pedagogical approaches to minority and endangered languages

The Language Learning Journal (Taylor & Francis)
 
Over the past three decades there has been an increasing interest in language
endangerment, revitalisation and documentation. This interest has led to the
establishment of a variety of training programmes and courses intended for
linguists, university students, educators, language planners, activists and
members of native-speaking communities. The inclusion in the mainstream school
curriculum of languages spoken by various minority groups has also seen
innovative approaches emerging in recent years. This special issue aims to
synthesise the expertise accumulated in these settings and to critically
survey various programmes and approaches.

The proposed issue builds on the strength of the 2011 issue of The Language
Learning Journal (39, no.2), which addressed the teaching and learning of
languages of the wider world in order to promote awareness of linguistic
diversity. The proposed special issue re-centres the debate by focusing
primarily on endangered and minority languages from a critical pedagogical
angle, which will include discussion of a broad variety of educational
contexts and methods, ranging from support to revitalisation efforts, teaching
in school settings, community-based learning, and academic courses.

Papers are invited on the following areas:

- established language teaching methods (e.g. communicative method, grammar
and translation method, audio-lingual method, multimodal and co-operative
learning, discovery methods, total physical response, etc.) and their
applicability in the field of teaching minority and endangered languages;
- methods encouraging intergenerational collaboration, such as language nests,
taiga and tundra schools, as well as collaboration across various social
sectors (e.g. co-funded language programmes);
- translanguaging pedagogy to teach minority and endangered languages;
- workshops and courses aimed at endangered-language community members to
document their own language, including grammars and dictionaries designed for
the purposes of revitalisation;
- courses and training programmes using translation and/or digital (e.g.
Wikipedia) methods to teach minority and endangered languages;
- the use of Second Life and other e-learning platforms to teach minority and
endangered languages;
- survey courses in secondary and higher education addressing the theme of
linguistic diversity, endangerment, and minority languages for non-specialist
students;
- specialised courses for students of linguistics focusing on field methods,
language documentation and revitalisation, language loss and identity,
individual linguistic repertoires, anthropological and sociolinguistic
approaches.

Planned date of print publication: Spring 2020.

All papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted and finalised
for publication.

Papers should be submitted to the guest editors by 30 June 2019.

Guest editors: Dr. Riitta-Liisa Valijärvi (University College London, Uppsala
University) and Dr. Eszter Tarsoly (University College London)

For expressions of interest and further details, please contact the guest
