Practica

The last week of CoLang will be a fieldwork practicum in collaborative language documentation and revitalization. The purpose of the practica is to apply the linguistic, ethical, practical, and technical skills gained in the workshops in a guided apprenticeship with native-speaker experts and an instructor. We plan to offer a class for each practicum language during the workshops, to prepare students for the one-week practicum and enable them to get the most out of their practicum experience. Three practica are envisioned for CoLang 2026, based on local Native American languages. Check out this page for updates on what specific languages will be offered.
