Описание: What Is A Language Nest For Language Preservation? In this informative video, we will introduce you to the concept of a language nest and its role in preserving endangered languages. A language nest is an early-childhood immersion program designed to revitalize and maintain indigenous languages. We will explain how this immersive approach teaches young children these languages in a natural environment, facilitated by fluent speakers, often elders, who engage with them in daily activities.

You’ll learn about the origins of the term "language nest," which comes from the Māori phrase kōhanga reo, and how this initiative has spread beyond New Zealand. We’ll discuss the importance of intergenerational language transfer and how these programs help children develop a strong sense of identity and community by integrating traditional cultural practices.

Additionally, we will highlight various regions around the world where language nests have been implemented, showcasing their significance in combating language loss. By the end of the video, you will have a clearer understanding of how language nests contribute to the survival of endangered languages and the cultural heritage they embody.
