Title: Workshop for Indigenous Language Activists: Workshop: Where Are Your Keys?
Body: From http://aildi.arizona.edu/wyak_workshop As part of AILDI's mission to provide critical training to strengthen efforts to revitalize and promote the use of Indigenous languages across generations, they are pleased to introduce and demonstrate "Where Are Your Keys?" a new and different method for language teaching. The two day, hands-on workshop scheduled for February 10 & 11, 2012 will introduce the key concepts and techniques of WAYK, enabling participants to quickly learn any language by talking with a fluent speaker without the help of textbooks, dictionaries or translations. The WAYK method is not intended to replace any existing language learning method necessarily, but it is an additional tool that can be used and modified to enhance any current language learning curriculum. The workshop will be entirely experiential, not theoretical. For full details about the workshop go to http://aildi.arizona.edu/wyak_workshop
