<p>Dear,</p>
<p>As a Catalan and working with language promotion issues,
sociolinguistics, etc., I can provide with a lot of information
regarding these "voluntaris per la llengua" (volunteers for the
language). Which is that a native speaker meets once a week with a
learner in order to talk in the language just about anything. If
need anything, just ask. I can provide with a lot of tools and
information on how Catalans are doing to promote the Catalan
language, to revitalize it and so on. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>David<br>

<div>Dear Ryan<br>
<br>
</div>
This is a really useful and worthwhile list. <br>
<br>
</div>
There are a number of schemes in the Catalan/Occitan area
in France/Spain which may not come up in an online search
for 'master/mentor-aprentice', as they're called something
like 'volunteering for the language' (in the relevant
language), e.g. <br>
<br>

<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.upf.edu/vl/">https://www.upf.edu/vl/</a><br>
<br>
</div>
Also, there are informal 1:1 arrangements in many places
that are not reported in academic journals and so are 'below
the radar'. <br>

<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm a PhD student in Linguistics studying language
documentation and revitalization. I am writing because a
member of an Indigenous language community in Canada has
asked me to put together a list of organizations and
communities that may have implemented the
master-apprentice approach (MAA) for language teaching. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've found that no such list exists for languages
throughout the world (just areal lists like <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.rnld.org/MALLP" target="_blank">RNLD's</a>),
so I figured I might as well start putting a worldwide
list together. In a nutshell, I'm hoping to compile a
list that gives people a sense of what MAA efforts may
have taken place for a language of their interest, and
give them something to follow up on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>My question to you all:</b> Would any RNLD-ers be
willing to check out the list and see if they could
contribute some information about language communities
who may have used the MAA?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone is interested, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rLfTi3gLmrHfLNrZ8KMeLkd0RtESrh7Q1oddlHG1F4c/edit#gid=0"
target="_blank">here is the link</a> to the list. The
"About the list" tab explains what I'm going for, and
please feel free to comment and/or let me know your
thoughts via email.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time,</div>
