While the organisations mentioned above (and others) are involved in training, there is currently no network that links between various training activities or that cross-refers those seeking training with those providing it. This is what the CTDLC aims to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently attended a symposium titled Models for capacity development in language documentation and conservation hosted by ILCAA at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
