Summary
"This paper reviews the teaching of Aboriginal languages in the tertiary sector of Australia, looking at the stronger languages taught in the university sector versus those languages under revival that tend to be taught in the TAFE sector. The paper summarises the status of courses offered state by state, and sets the scene with some historical background. The metaphor of 'rekindling warm embers' is used to describe revival programs, with a focus on the Ngarrindjeri experience in South Australia."--Abstract
