Language endangerment-related videos

Thanks to Lev’s last post on the movie The Linguists, I’ve found a few jewels of videos on endangered language documentation, revitalization, etc.

The Linguists – Archiving for Speakers and Linguists is just one of them, but you’ll see some more related videos at the bottom of the screen.

American Indian Languages Teaching Credential

AB 544

Teaching credential: American Indian Languages

“[...] This bill would require the commission, upon recommendation by a
tribal government of a federally recognized Indian tribe in
California, to issue an American Indian languages credential to a
candidate who has demonstrated fluency in that tribal language, and
met other requirements. The bill would authorize the holder of an
American Indian languages credential to teach the American Indian
language for which the credential was issued in California public
schools in preschool, kindergarten, grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and in
adult education courses, and would make the holder of that
credential eligible for a professional clear teaching credential upon
completion of a specified period of time and application and
consultation as specified. The bill would encourage each federally
recognized American Indian tribe to develop a written and oral
assessment that should be successfully completed before an applicant
is recommended for an American Indian languages credential.”

I found out about it thanks to an email sent to Endangered Languages emailing list at litserv.
