Less commonly taught languages in the TELL framework: the case of Modern Greek
by Frieda Charalabopoulou
International Journal of Knowledge and Learning (IJKL), Vol. 6, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: It is true that not all languages start from an even situation: some languages (which are considered 'privileged', 'strong' or 'widely spoken/used/taught') happen to have large numbers of speakers, others have few. In order to preserve, promote and spread less commonly taught languages (LCTL) it is important to avail of all potential promotion and dissemination mechanisms, one of which is TELL (technology-enhanced language learning). In this paper we shall first discuss LCTL in the TELL context and we shall then present a TELL application for Modern Greek, which aspires to contribute to the 'revitalisation' and dissemination of a small language via the technology channel.
