Revitalization and Revival of Indigenous Languages and Cultures with Applied Linguistics and Technology
Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, v16 n4 p220-226 2022
The Applied Linguistics field is criticized for neglecting Indigenous languages and cultures as well as social justice issues. Some see technology as exasperating the digital divide. We are urged to reflect on our work to see whose interests the field serves and respond with action. I discuss these issues in relation to existing work, arguing that Applied Linguistics should view the revitalization and revival of endangered Indigenous languages and cultures as a social justice issue. I will then show how this can be done from a broader sociolinguists perspective and through projects with technology to benefit both the Indigenous and the Applied Linguistics professional communities.
