Title: Coptic Language Education in the Diaspora (Tentative).
Abstract
In the last several decades, the Coptic community has expanded globally through emigration, creating an ever-growing and -changing diaspora with each subsequent generation. The Coptic community’s current use of the Coptic language is comparably unique to the language practices of other groups. Access to Coptic language education is necessary to meet their unique needs, however scholarly discussions regarding Coptic language education have been limited. This presentation will provide a synthesis of relevant literature, including theories, concepts, and frameworks, from the fields of Education and Applied Linguistics that can inform the teaching and learning of Coptic. It will also cover the current state of Coptic language education and raise questions for future interdisciplinary research.
