Meinong has now become the only area in Taiwan where the Hakka language loss has been successfully controlled in the school context.
The speaker will discuss how the progress of the Meinong Hakka revitalisation and the bilingual approaches applied in Hakka language maintenance can empower people who are committed to saving endangered languages in many other places in the world.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, teachers and policy makers.
