Language Revitalization

Community-based programs

These programs address the problem of creating a network for using the local language. Sometimes, however, the language is enrooted so deeply in the community that it refuses imposing of different, foreign teaching styles. Many communities use what are called informal learning styles, or natural learning, which is sometimes in strong opposition to standard the revitalization programs.

This does not come without any issues. Local languages are often replaced by languages that are well-established, have a tradition of writing and are used in formal education. Furthermore, there is the risk of potential culture clash.
