ELMeDa was created in summer 2007 as a pedagogical tool to be integrated in the teaching of the course "Revitalizing Languages" at the University of Toronto.
ELMeDa is a collection of news releases about different efforts in the revitalization and maintenance of endangered and/or indigenous and/or local and/or minority languages around the world.
Welcome to ELMeDa.
Electronic media (newspapers, magazines, podcasts, videos, blogs, community reports) coverage of linguistic diversity and potential loss thereof as well as of educational, political and legal efforts to rescue it, has increased in the course of the past few years.
Understanding how this complex matter is portrayed in the media we access on a daily basis willingly or not is not only an exercise of critical thinking but also the exercise of a civil right.
