Abstract:

This book explores Indigenous, tribal and minority (ITM) language education in
oral and/or written communication and in the use of new technologies and
online resources for pedagogical purposes in diverse geopolitical contexts. It
demonstrates that ITM language education transpires in both formal and
informal spaces for children or adults and that sometimes these spaces are
online, where they become de-territorialized discourses of teaching and
learning.’ The volume brings together examples of ITM language education that
are challenging the forces that flatten ‘languacultures’ into artefacts of
history. It also examines the economic and material realities of the people
who live in and through their ‘languacultures’, or who aspire to do as much.
The book will be useful for educators and all those interested in Indigenous
and minority language issues, as well as for a wide range of undergraduate,
graduate and research contexts where topics of language education and minority
rights are the focus.
