Sinopse

Shore Speech Lives delves into the crucial intersection of technology and language revitalization, using the Tlingit language as a case study. Facing endangerment due to historical assimilation, the Tlingit language's survival hinges on innovative approaches. The book highlights how digital tools like language learning apps and online dictionaries can empower communities to reclaim their linguistic heritage. One intriguing fact is that language revitalization is not just about grammar, it's about preserving the unique worldview encoded within a language.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the Tlingit language and the history of its endangerment. It then explores the development and impact of specific technological tools. Shore Speech Lives emphasizes that technology alone isn't a panacea; human interaction and community ownership are vital. The book shares transcribed interviews and linguistic analysis, offering insights into the successes and challenges of using technology for language preservation. For example, it acknowledges the controversy surrounding cultural appropriation and language policy.

 
Ultimately, this study provides a framework for culturally responsive language revitalization programs. It offers guidance on selecting technologies and fostering community engagement. While focused on the Tlingit community, the book's lessons about language preservation resonate with other endangered languages globally, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in language learning, technology, or cultural preservation.

    Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Spanish for Holiday by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for beginners and slightly advanced learners and focuses on words and phrases you can use when travelling and especially on holiday.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 600 words and practical sentences.The individual lessons are divided into the topics of travelling by car, travelling by plane, travel destinations, in a hotel, in a restaurant,on a trip,   shopping and chatting.  Listening to this course you can combine the pleasant with the useful - you will refresh your holiday vocabulary and revise your Spanish in general at the same time.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in Spanish, in track one you hear the  Spanish word twice. Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Spanish twice Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Spanish (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress.

For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English, Pedro García-Guiaro and Begoña García Ferrerira in Spanish.
