Indigenous Languages of Latin America Workshop: Pedagogy & Technology
Taller de lenguas indígenas de América Latina: pedagogía y tecnología
The Latin American Indigenous Studies Alliance (LAISA), a partnership between Latin American studies centers at Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Utah, is pleased to offer professional development workshops for instructors of Indigenous languages of Latin America.
CLAS brings together instructors of Indigenous languages of Latin America in the Taller de lenguas indígenas de América Latina to present, share, and discuss methods, materials, resources, and the challenges and successes specific to the teaching of Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTL), specifically Indigenous languages of Latin America, in the U.S. classroom. Working sessions are dedicated to the development of materials and plans that participants can take back to their institutions.

Transporte desde y hacia el aeropuerto
Los aeropuertos más cercanos a la Universidad de Stanford son los de San Francisco (SFO) y San José (SJC) y están a una distancia similar. Pueden ustedes planear llegar a cualquiera de esos dos aeropuertos. El aeropuerto de San José - SJC - suele ser más fácil navegar y con menos tráfico.
Para transporte desde y hacia estos aeropuertos, se recomienda que usen SuperShuttle (por favor hagan sus reservaciones con anticipación usando el código promocional T9X58) o una compañía como Lyft o Uber. Estas opciones cuestan alrededor de $25-50 cada vía. El taxi resulta menos económico por lo que no es recomendable, pero si desea puede usted tomar un taxi afuera del aeropuerto.
