Language Lodge

Social media content in Indigenous and minoritized languages is a powerful tool for language growth. Many language teachers use social media platforms to share language information, and learners create content to practice their new skills. Though there are many content creators, it can be difficult for them to connect with other language-focused content creators outside their immediate sphere of influence.

Language Lodge gatherings are casual conversations mediated and inspired by a host. Each gathering will be hosted by a different content creator who will lead a discussion on their language-based social media topic of choice—such as family language learning, food blogging, or emojis. During the gathering, the host will propose a social media challenge, such as creating a video or meme incorporating elements discussed in the gathering, and invite guests to create new content over the next month.

Do you create content within your Indigenous or minoritized language? Please joins us and register for the next Language Lodge. Participation is free and open to all adults. If you are not a content creator but still want to support Indigenous and minoritized language social media efforts, please follow along and like and share Indigenous or minoritized language content.
