Sociolingo’s Africa<\/a> is a general blog which includes posts about languages (the writer’s based in Mali but draws together material from across Africa). There are some interesting posts on linguistics, literacy – including mother tongue language education. So much seems so familiar. Thanks to this blog I’ve learned about Litcam, Google, and UNESCO’s Institute for Lifelong Learning Launch ‘The Literacy Project’<\/a> and of practical handbooks which looks it might be useful in our region: Handbook for Literacy and Non-formal Education Facilitators in Africa<\/a>, and its predecessor, designed for use in Asia, Handbook for Non-formal Education Facilitators<\/a>.
\nOther blogs I’ve come across recently:
\n• Will Owen’s blog Aboriginal art and culture: an American eye<\/a> – has extensive and thoughtful reviews of art shows, books and films related to Australian Indigenous ethnography. (thanks David!<\/em>)
\n• the blog<\/a> of a graduate student, David Kaufman, who includes glossed texts of different Northern and Central American languages in the blog, as well as discussions of the language.
\n• The Lexique pro blog<\/a> has been created for information sharing on Lexique Pro<\/a> which has the potential to be a useful tool for dictionary-makers and publishers. (Thanks to a posting by David Ker<\/a> of the Nyungwe Project – Mozambique on the Lexicography list<\/em>)
\n• Fulbright journey to Turtle Island ( USA)<\/a> is the travel-blog of Samia Goudie, an Australian Bundjalung \/ Mununjali woman visiting the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship to find out about “inter-generational trauma, healing and resilience in Indigenous communities”. So far, mostly travel, but some stuff on work with Native Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
