These profound changes in the potential of what we can do deserves recognition in our planning – How are we planning to meet the expectations of the digital generation? Are we bold and assertive as we plan our future? In retrospect it is valuable to see what has changed and where challenges persist since NCOLCTL was founded. As less commonly taught languages, for many of us, we still strug- gle to have our classes scheduled during times that are attractive to students. We struggle to retain instructors, even very talented instructors, and we are still not paid well and few are offered a permanent academic home. The good news is that we have been blessed with leadership in NCOLCTL that has attracted attention in government. The Star Talk program has been a great blessing. Successful summer programs have ensured renewed interest in the continued commitment to teaching and scholarship of many of our languages.

  • Good Stories Don't Grow on Trees V2 1.17
    Good Stories Don’t Grow on Trees A Guide to Effective Costing of Storybooks in the Global South Neil Butcher, Lisbeth Levey, Kirsty von Gogh 1 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence Background With funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and as part of its work on the early literacy ecosystem and open licensing, Neil Butcher & Associates (NBA) is conducting research on costs associated with production of different kinds of storybooks. NBA’s goal is to contribute to enhancing the availability of children’s books in mother-tongue languages in Africa, supported by open licensing. Openly licensed resources are ‘free’ to access, but there are significant creation, adaptation, production, and use costs. The long-term sustainability of local-language publishing requires that these costs be met fairly, using financial models that will enable people to establish, grow, and maintain effective content creation organizations. This research aims to raise awareness of the various costs that go into producing and translating storybooks and of the relationship between investment and quality. It also serves to illustrate emerging business models for local organizations creating content using open licensing that funders and governments might wish to fund to support effective early literacy acquisition in developing countries. NBA has also created a website, the Early Literacy Resource Network (ELRN), to share information on toolkits and research about open licensing, teacher training, national language and book policies, access and distribution, and key players in early literacy. The ELRN website gathers together work carried out by major organizations and researchers in this field.
