Why study Being an Adult Language Learner in a Language Revitalisation Setting?

The UQ School of Languages and Cultures has developed a new program for First Nations people working to learn and reactivate their own languages. To make sure it is responsive, high quality and relevant, its design is led by Indigenous community and industry members and Indigenous UQ staff. This module is one of the first to be delivered. Adult language learning is key to language revitalisation, but it is distinct from other language learning contexts. In Indigenous language contexts, family, culture, Country and history connect adults to the languages they are seeking to regain, in deep and unique ways. Formal language classes are available in relatively few contexts, and in Australia and globally, individual and community strategies for language learning are innovative and responsive. The techniques and strategies you will learn in this module will allow you to structure your language learning, and to reflect on and set goals to progress your language learning journey.

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.
