Why study Building your Language Revitalisation Network?
UQ School of Languages and Cultures have developed a new program for First Nations people working to research, learn and reactivate their own languages. To make sure the program is responsive, high quality and relevant, its design is led by Indigenous community and industry members and Indigenous UQ staff. This module is one of the first to be delivered. Recognising and building on your and your community¿s knowledge and strengths in reactivating your languages is at the core of our design. In this module, through a series of activities you will identify, maximise, and add to the resources you have to strengthen your language revitalisation network. This program is for people involved in any field of language revitalisation, including language teaching and learning, archival research and archiving, documentation, or arts-based practice.
In 2023, this module runs from 23 January to 27 February, including a three day on-campus workshop from 30 January to 1 February inclusive.
What you can study
Language revitalisation is a long-term and community-based task, which requires different kinds of resources and support. In this module, with and from others in the group, you will identify local and national opportunities, communities, and events for nourishing languages. You will learn about finding and using archives, collections, and published works on languages. You will also develop your skills to map and grow the resources in your language revitalisation network.

What you can do with a Building your Language Revitalisation Network
Careers
With the introduction of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages Framework in the Australian Curriculum, the development of state and national policies for Languages and UN Decade of Indigenous Languages, right now there is great momentum for First Nations languages. This momentum is growing employment opportunities for language specialists in a range of settings including Language and Culture Centres, schools, early childhood centres, community and government organisations, arts, and land management projects. The UQ team is working with partners in industry and government to ensure the recognition of skills and qualifications in the sector, and advocating to maximise the quality of employment opportunities for language-related work.
