General Reference 15 of 17
"At the core of the FirstVoices Web application is an online language archiving tool. Each language collection consists of an alphabet, dictionary and phrase book. The alphabet provides the written character set for a language, with sample sound files for each character. The dictionary provides a word list, with translations, definitions, sounds, images and video. FirstVoices Phrase Books contain everyday conversational language with related text, sound, image and video files to support language learning.
Using the latest digital technology, Aboriginal communities can accurately document their language data and manage their own language resources. Data can then be repurposed in a variety of Web-enabled language activities designed for self-directed learning. Students customize their choice of language activity and degree of linguistic challenge while connected live to FirstVoices.com. Each new activity is populated with text and sound files directly from the FirstVoices database.
FirstVoices makes creative use of the Internet with a unique set of tools providing access to the language and culture of the Elders for all Aboriginal students, whether close to their traditional territory or far away in an urban setting."
