- Title
INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES AND SPANISH IN THE UNITED STATES: How CAN/DO LINGUISTS SERVE COMMUNITIES?
- Authors
Fitzgerald, Colleen M.
- Abstract
This paper presents two projects that combine research with community needs. The first project is an effort to develop a community-based team to work with archival recordings of Tohono O'odham. These recordings are located throughout the United States, yet are inaccessible, unpublished, and even untranscribed and untranslated. The second project represents recent work to develop a service-learning course at Texas Tech University, where tutors earn credit by tutoring English as a second language. This is done in collaboration with Literacy Lubbock, a community agency that already provides literacy and ESL instruction, with particular attention to working with Spanish speakers.
