If you’re in Melbourne, please come along and join us in the launch of our new Learner’s Guide Template.
This resource is both a “how-to” guide and Plain English template. Written in accessible language, it helps non-linguists understand linguistic ways of talking about language, so they can decode their more academic grammars to make a resource that is accessible to their community. It also suggests a structure for their learner’s guide, and provides template text that can be used or adapted to suit the language:
Part 1: Speak your language! Useful words and phrases
Part 2: How your language works
The template has been written with Pama-Nyungan revitalisation languages in mind. We hope it will be used and adapted by communities for their own needs - giving life to, and showcasing the individuality and beauty of, their languages. It has been created for people to make it their own and share their language in a way that would best suit their community of language speakers and future generations.
Light refreshments will be provided.
