The Kiowa Language and Culture Revitalization: Designing a Community-based Learning Model for an Endangered Language

• In Event: D&D - Design and Development Showcase

Short Description

The Kiowa Language and Culture Revitalization Program is a community-based learning model designed to build knowledge through networks of community members and scaffolding using specially designed tools. In this community-based design, tribal members act as linguistic and cultural resources, and teachers use tools specially-developed to help them elicit knowledge from elders within the community. The design is intended to serve as an immersive model of language learning for other communities facing similar language loss issues.
