| Summary: | This paper describes an on-going project on digital archiving
Yami language documentation
(http://www.hrelp.org/grants/projects/index.php?projid=60). We
present a cross-disciplinary approach, involving computer science
and applied linguistics, to document the Yami language and prepare
teaching materials.
Our discussion begins with an introduction to an integrated
framework for archiving, processing and developing learning materials
for Yami (Yang and Rau 2005), followed by a historical account of
Yami language teaching, from a grammatical syllabus (Dong and Rau
2000b) to a communicative syllabus using a multimedia CD as a resource
(Rau et al. 2005), to the development of interactive on-line
learning based on the digital archiving project. We discuss the methods
used and challenges of each stage of preparing Yami teaching
materials, and present a proposal for rethinking pedagogical models
for e-learning.
