grad programs in documentation

[Haley De Korne]

Hi Monica et al,
Great discussion & great to hear that 
more programs are including issues of pedagogy (& hopefully also 
policy, program design, language ideologies, multilingualism, etc).  
I've met quite a few students interested in the transmission/ social 
status of endangered languages who were channelled towards documentary 
linguistics and/or formal analysis, which I think is unfortunate.

I wholeheartedly recommend the MA in Applied Linguistics at 
the University of Victoria, where I had great support looking at 
revitalization issues, and also recommend the PhD in Educational 
Linguistics in the school of Education at the University of 
Pennsylvania, where I am currently. There are lots of relevant links 
between revitalization and the disciplines of education, anthropology, 
social policy, child development, and of course applied linguistics, 
among others-- people interested in this area shouldn't feel the need to restrict themselves to linguistics-- and in fact we'll be better off if they don't, because we need people with expertize in all these areas, 
in my opinion.

best regards,
Haley
