“…She emphasizes how at this critical time new technologies, such as visual and aural archiving, digitization of textual resources, electronic mapping and social media, have the potential to play an integral role in language maintenance and revitalization. Similarly, Bel and Gasquet-Cyrus (2015) highlight the opportunities that new technologies offer the field of endangered languages. Enabling institutional archives to preserve material with scientific and cultural heritage value represents a significant achievement for research teams and the communities in which they work.…”

“…Among the main technologies used in this research were videos and speech recordings. According to Bel and Gasquet-Cyrus (2015), speech recordings represent one of the most important opportunities that new technologies offer the field of endangered languages. The speech recordings were edited by the system developer of CFRD, who also used Adobe Flash cs6 software to generate tasks and exercises.…”

The Mapudungun language spoken by the Mapuche people in southern Chile is one of the thousands of severely endangered languages in the world today. Despite efforts by the Mapuche people to support it, the language remains threatened. The study reported here is part of an effort to more effectively support the revitalization of Mapudungun aimed at developing a community- and technology-based model for the teaching of the language. The study was divided into two stages: first, the design and development of the model; second, the evaluation of the model based on quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and a post-test. Then, the participants were surveyed to obtain information regarding their beliefs toward the use of technology in the teaching–learning process of Mapudungun. The study’s results indicate that technology can facilitate Mapuche language learning and revitalization.
