| Description | A set of video and audio recordings from Zapotec classes that took place at the Centro de Aprendizaje (Learning Center) in San Pablo Macuiltianguis, Oaxaca, Mexico between 2015 and 2016 under the direction of Mtra. Raquel Eufemia Cruz Manzano and the Grupo Cultural Tagayu'. The participants in the classes were mosty children from the community, ages 7-12, who were learning Zapotec as beginners. The collection includes materials used for assessing students' Zapotec learning in terms of tone, vocabulary, and general proficiency. There are also additional audio recordings created with speakers for the purpose of investigating the phonetic and phonological characteristics of this variety of Zapotec. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number BCS-1451687.
