A A framework for designing pedagogical materials in Indigenous languages: examples from Brazil and Mexico

Many language revitalization programs in Latin America rely heavily on instructional settings that require some sort of pedagogical materials. One of the primary challenges for such programs is to produce these materials and incorporate them into consistent practices. This paper presents a framework that can be used to assess the needs and justify the design choices for books, dictionaries, grammars and multimedia products to be incorporated into indigenous language revitalization programs. The examples used to illustrate the deployment of such framework come from two projects, one in Brazil and one in Mexico, to prepare pedagogical grammars in multiple indigenous languages.
