This video is of a talk ‘Inuttitut Master-Apprentice Style Learning with Zoom: Little by little,’ which Lydia Tuglavina and Alana Johns gave at a workshop The Pandemic, Technology and Language Revitalization organized in May 2021 by Nicolas Welch of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The talk describes how Lydia and Alana Johns have conducted one-on-one language learning sessions over the years. The emphasis is on learning to speak the language. Alana is the learner with Lydia as the language expert. The method is based roughly on the Master-Apprentice method, as outlined by Professor Leanne Hinton. Also discussed is the use of zoom on phones, rather than computers, in long distance language learning.
