Ironbound Films, Inc. is producing a one-hour PBS television documentary, with ancillary Web site, curriculum and program guides about the causes of language loss, how it affects science and how scientists are responding. Vanishing Voices takes viewers from Native Siberia to Native America, from ancient texts to cutting-edge technology, to demonstrate how scientists record -- even help revive -- the world's tongues. Vanishing Voices is the first film about language loss that addresses the issue as important to science. The ancillary program guide will be designed for use by Native Americans who are interested in studying or reviving their languages. A formative evaluation of the program and a summative evaluation of the program and outreach materials will be conducted by RMC Research Corporation.INTELLECTUAL MERIT:This program is supported in conjunction with the NSF/NEH Interagency Partnership to Document Endangered Languages. The topic is timely and compelling. The production team is well qualified, and they have sought out the support and involvement of the linguistic community and Native Americans involved in reviving their languages. BROADER IMPACT: The project has the potential to educate the public about the crisis of language loss, the scientific and cultural value of linguistic diversity, and the ways in which that diversity can be maintained. With the program's use in classrooms and the program guides targeted to Native Americans, the project has the potential to inspire young linguistic students to get involved in field work and to encourage Native American communities to work with scientists in preserving their dying languages. The teachers guide will imbue science material into the social science curriculum.

Ironbound Films，Inc.正在制作一部时长一小时的PBS电视纪录片，并配有辅助网站、课程和节目指南，内容涉及语言丧失的原因、它如何影响科学以及科学家如何应对。 《消失的声音》将观众从西伯利亚原住民带到美洲原住民，从古代文献到尖端技术，展示科学家如何记录--甚至帮助复兴--世界语言。 《消失的声音》是第一部关于语言丧失的电影，它解决了这个对科学很重要的问题。 辅助程序指南将被设计用于有兴趣学习或复兴其语言的美洲原住民。 RMC研究公司将对该计划进行形成性评估，并对该计划和宣传材料进行总结性评估。智力优势：该计划与NSF/NEH机构间合作伙伴关系一起支持，以记录濒危语言。 这一主题是及时的和令人信服的。 制作团队是合格的，他们寻求语言社区和参与复兴他们语言的美洲原住民的支持和参与。 更广泛的影响：该项目有可能教育公众了解语言丧失的危机、语言多样性的科学和文化价值以及保持这种多样性的方法。 随着该计划在课堂上的使用和针对美洲原住民的计划指南，该项目有可能激励年轻的语言学学生参与实地工作，并鼓励美洲原住民社区与科学家合作，保护他们正在消亡的语言。 教师指南将把科学材料融入社会科学课程。
