Preserve your Tok Ples

posted Jan 23, 2010 9:08 PM by Steven Bird   [ updated Jan 24, 2010 6:28 PM ]
During February, staff and students at three PNG universities are offered training in language preservation, including techniques for recording, transcribing and translating stories, dialogues and songs from local languages ("tokples").  The training takes 10 hours, and is spread over 3 days.  Participants will learn how to apply the technique of Basic Oral Language Documentation to help preserve their ancestral language, and their cultural heritage.
  • University of Goroka: 8-10 February (afternoons)
  • Divine Word University, Madang: 12-14 February
  • University of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby: 16-18 February
