Module description

Language materials are kept in archives across Australia and are important for language renewal and revitalisation. Many collecting places have programs to return materials to community members. However, searching for, accessing and using these materials can pose different challenges. In addition, language materials held in collecting places have different histories of collection and can differ in terms of quality and depth. This course is designed for participants who would like to find, access, review and use materials on their ancestral languages. It recognises the importance of community protocols over language materials.

LING7013S Language Research in Archives is a Shorter Form Credential offered through the School of Languages and Cultures. It is designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are involved in and have some knowledge of language revitalisation work in their community. It requires 12 contact hours and approximately 10 independent study hours to complete.

In June 2023, this module runs from 26 June to 4 August, including on-campus workshops from 9 to 15 July inclusive. Apply by Saturday, 1 July 2023.
