Meeting Description:

The endangered and marginalized language landscape in East and
Southeast Asia is incredibly diverse, shaped by unique political,
economic, educational, and other factors. While linguists in the last
thirty years or so have made significant progress in understanding the
common causes for and typical patterns of language shift, the
individual circumstances of these languages are distinct and merit
further exploration from a comparative perspective.

This two-day symposium on the "Research and Teaching of Endangered and
Marginalized Languages of East and Southeast Asia" aims to foster the
exchange of knowledge, experiences, and best practices among
researchers and language educators working with individual languages.

This symposium will bring scholars, educators, and activists to the
UCLA campus in May 2024 to address the challenges and opportunities
for preserving and teaching these vulnerable and endangered languages
as well as their respective cultures. It will feature ten speakers
representing diverse languages from East Asia and Southeast Asia,
providing a platform for a comprehensive discussion.

The event will be held in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person
and virtual participation. An aim of this symposium is to share
research-based insights on effective teaching strategies for these
endangered and marginalized languages. Another aim is to
collaboratively create a realistic roadmap for language and cultural
preservation in schools and society. Scholars and students interested
in the field are encouraged to participate in the Q&A sessions for
individual talks and the open roundtable discussion.
