NABO is happy to have
Izaskun Kortazar as our Euskara coordinator. She will be helping
to facilitate our various Euskara initiatives, in the hope that we will
continue to see the increasing learning and use of Euskara. Her
email contact is:
izaskunkortzar@gmail.com
Here are initial objectives:
1. BOGA coordinator. Serve as the national BOGA instructor; i.e., this
person will take on part of the teaching load for each student which
will then free up our local instructors for conversation classes.
2. Support for current Euskara instructors, including organization of
annual workshop.
3. Creation of a new team of future teachers that will be developed with HABE's assistance
4. Formulation of a short & long term plan for Euskara instruction &
promotion
Then as time allows other possible initiatives include:
> Creation of material for kids to learn Euskara
> Ongoing creation of material for conversation classes linked with
Euskara levels in BOGA
> Continue posting of instructional material on the NABO website that will serve as
a starting point for reference and guidance for Basque language
learning. Includes a resource center for language teaching lessons
plans, etc.
> Coordinate an ongoing Euskara promotion campaign; ie., keep the
language visible and viable.
> Coordinate an annual Euskara event at a NABO event; e.g., Song
concert, bertsolari dinner, etc.
> Assist with annual local events to promote the language
> Answers to NABO & its delegates directly, and indirectly to HABE.
