*Exploring Endangered Languages*

Half of the world's languages are endangered and may go extinct in this
century. The loss of these languages will have dire consequences not only
for their speakers, but also for culture, science, and the environment.
Around the world, speakers of endangered languages are mounting strategic
efforts to save their languages. This presentation features photos and
video clips of speakers of some of the world’s most endangered languages,
from Siberia, India, the USA and other locations, and will demonstrate how
indigenous speakers and linguists are working to sustain languages through
technology and digital activism. Positive connections between ESL, higher
education and language diversity will be explored.



*About the Speaker:*
