Meeting Description:

This year's Foundation for Endangered Languages conference is hosted by
University College London. The theme is teaching and learning materials
(including primers, grammars, dictionaries, textbooks, websites, language
documentation and other audiovisual material, apps, etc.) for, in, and about
endangered languages. We would like to invite presentations that focus on the
types of pedagogical resources that are appropriate for endangered language
situations (including the teaching and learning of speaking, listening,
reading, and writing skills, as relevant), and the roles they can play in the
support for and revitalization of endangered languages. Presentations could
also explore how such resources can contribute to the status and profile of a
language, and what practical and pedagogical solutions and resources work best
for first, heritage, and second language speakers and learners.


Call for Papers: 

Possible issues to address include, but are not limited to:
 - What ideologies can be detected in language learning materials? 
 - What do people of different ages or societal groups expect from pedagogical
materials?
 - What are the differences between teaching and learning materials aimed at
first language speakers, heritage speakers, and second-language learners?
 - What kinds of exercises and texts should a textbook contain for it to serve
the needs of an endangered language community? 
 - What innovative and successful solutions can the internet and digital
applications offer for the study of endangered languages?
 - What is the role of standardization and orthography in the creation of
teaching and learning materials, grammars, and textbooks?
 - How can audio, images, and video complement more traditional learning
resources?
 - What learning materials can be used in immersive learning, such as language
nests or content courses in the medium of an endangered language?
 - How have the grammars and textbooks for a particular language changed over
time?
 - What issues and challenges arise when developing monolingual (in any
language) pedagogical materials for endangered languages? 
 - How can the development of teaching and learning materials help to support
endangered-language curricula and specialist courses (e.g. translation,
teacher training, language courses for health professionals and local
government officials)?
 - What is the role of curriculum design in the context of endangered
languages and language revitalization? 
 - What is the role of games in the teaching and learning of endangered
languages?
 - How can multicultural traditions be used in the teaching and learning of
endangered languages? 
 - How can oral tradition serve as a pedagogical paradigm? 
 - What are the features of an accessible and user-friendly grammar for
speakers of an endangered language? 
 - How does such a grammar differ from a grammar that an outsider linguist
might be expected to write by the scientific community?
