The teaching of rare and minority languages: methodological challenges and new tools for teaching Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish

The aim of this round-table discussion is to open up a debate on the methodological challenges associated with teaching rare, minority and endangered languages. Three speakers, who have developed textbooks or resources for teaching and learning Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish, will briefly present their educational projects, which will lead to a discussion on how these can improve the methodological situation whilst encouraging the learning of these two languages taught at INALCO. The discussion will be open to the public, who will also be able to ask questions or share their comments on the subject.
