Improving Indigenous Language Instruction

August 30, 2024

In collaboration with our partners in the Latin American Indigenous Studies Alliance (LAISA: University of Utah, UCLA, and Stanford) CLACS was proud to host the opening workshop for the LAISA Programa de Fellows en Pedagogías de Lenguas Indígenas. In early August, we welcomed instructors of Maya Yucateco (Maayat'aan), Tu’un Savi (Mixteco), Mam (Tuj Qyol) and Hñähñu. In the coming year, the fellows will work together to develop educational materials that focus on language teaching methodologies and instructional resources specific to the unique context of Indigenous language classrooms in the US.
