Abstract:

The problem of preserving indigenous languages – the languages of the country's indigenous peoples – is an urgent problem of modern mankind. About half of the languages existing today (about 6,000) are threatened with extinction. According to UNESCO, one language dies every week in the world, 50 years later, such a developed language as Igbo, which is spoken by tens of millions of people, may disappear.

PN speakers traditionally inhabited more than 90% of the land mass of mainland Australia, whereas NPN speakers traditionally occupied only 10% of the land area, and this was in the far northwest of the continent.

Abstract:

Magister Artium (Psychology) - MA(Psych)<br>The central aim of this study was to explore the identity formation of black African middle class young adults in the context of their educational and language experiences in ex-model C schools. The study was motivated by a need to understand how socio-historical events which play out in language in education policies and practices, affected the identity constructions of young black adults who had been through a schooling system where English was used as the language of instruction. The study adopts social constructionism as the epistemological posit

Abstract:

El presente trabajo utiliza la data “Peruvian Young Lives International Study” referente al nivel escolar de pobreza infantil para investigar el efecto de la presencia de lenguas distintas al Castellano en el logro cognitivo de los niños de Educación Primaria. Se encontró que la presencia de una lengua distinta al Castellano en la Educación Primaria disminuye en 2.22 puntos el puntaje en las pruebas cognitivas. No existe evidencia de este efecto visto por el lado de factores de oferta. Estos hallazgos sugieren también que la educación en lenguas distintas al Castellano en el nivel primario, pa

Abstract:

The overriding intent of this practicum is to develop an urban teaching garden that will facilitate the instruction of Indigenous knowledge. The environmental knowledge of Indigenous people, locally and globally, is rooted in the natural world. These are valid knowledge systems that can inform social reform, development practices, and environmental management, in a way that respects and values the natural world. Projects like the one proposed within are important in preserving the knowledge of local Aboriginal peoples, which is quickly disppearing. This is most evident in urban centres, where

M.A.<br>Language planning in South Africa has been nothing but the Government's policy of separatism. To our knowledge there has never been any consultation between the authorities and.the users of the various languages. The broader community has had no input in planning the languages which affect them directly. It is our attempt then to join the debate about language policy and language planning especially during 1991/1992...

Abstract:

Abstract in English<br>The number of studies focused on the digital preservation of indigenous knowledge has been growing steadily over the years. Despite the growth in this area of research, there is still a lack of information technology tools that preserve and disseminate indigenous knowledge. Indigenous knowledge has been highlighted as an area that can advance sustainable development, and its preservation is therefore of the utmost importance. Indigenous knowledge is mostly present within older generations, and if it is not preserved, this knowledge will die with its custodians. Af
