ILAT update

[Jan Tucker]

Phil, I stared out on the H-AmIndian listserver and moved to ILAT about a year ago, and am hooked now on the great information on language revitalization. I'm working hard to find a way to do something of value for language learners and teachers, and am inspired by all that is posted here. Also impressed with what is being done by those on this list. I can just take so much bad news about language loss. This listserver has balanced my view of language revitalization efforts and I've really enjoyed reading from the varied voices, promoting language learning. 

I'm still working on my website between my day job and will have something to share soon. I had to move to a new server, download a new version of free courseware, and I'm testing it and revising a demo Language Learning Resource Course for Cherokee. I'll share soon. My goal is to get people started using online courseware for supplementing other kinds of language learning and have a model for how they can develop a course. They should be able to put up a course that they completely control at minimum cost on their own website or server. This is what I've done. Just have to perfect it before I show it.
