Our special session theme for 2026 is Innovative Pedagogies. Education
lies at the core of language revitalization. Passing on our ancestral
languages is done by fostering a relationship between a teacher and a
learner. This is true whether this transference of knowledge takes
place in a classroom, in a mentor-apprentice environment, or in the
home. Language pedagogy continues to evolve rapidly. Mentor-apprentice
programs, immersive teaching, language nests, and other advancements
in the field were the result of innovation by talented educators
around the world. The next big advancement may be right around the
corner.
As always, we will have our General Session and Poster Sessions
allowing presentations on any topic relating to Language
Revitalization, Documentation, Description, and Theory.
