title = "Yol{\ng}u Languages in the Academy: Reflecting on Twenty Years of Tertiary Teaching",
abstract = "This paper describes and reflects on the history of the Yol{\ng}u Languages and Culture Program at Charles Darwin University (CDU), focussing on the language teaching aspects, particularly on curriculum and pedagogy. Features of this program are: a commitment to teach Yol{\ng}u culture through Yol{\ng}u languages; to cover all Yol{\ng}u languages; to have those languages taught by proper authorities; and to avoid sacred knowledge of language and culture. Taught through intellectual collaboration of Yol{\ng}u lecturers and non-Yol{\ng}u coordinators, those pedagogical protocols have been practised by succeeding generations of teachers in the program. Student learning experiences shared in this paper indicate that as well as gaining some competence in using these languages, students came to profoundly respect, and even love a particular group of Australian languages and culture.
