SUNY Fredonia and Ollin Tlahtoalli Summer Abroad Program

SUNY Fredonia and Ollin Tlahtoalli Centro de Lenguas y Cultura Mexicana have created a full time study abroad summer program for students interested in an intense cultural experience. This program offers so much more than typical summer study programs.

For six weeks students will live with families in the city of Oaxaca, and attend personalized Spanish instruction in groups of two or three students. This makes possible greater attention to individual language needs and allows time for sociolinguistic and cultural components. Our aim is to increase our students´ understanding and appreciation of Mexican values, traditions and behaviors which can sometimes be a mystery to outsiders. We do this through carefully selected readings and presentations along with class discussions.

Ollin Talhtoalli´s Free English Lessons Program expands to the community of Santa Maria Atzompa

Santa Maria Atzompa benefits from Ollin Tlahtoalli´s Free English Lessons Program

32 artisans from the Oaxacan community of Santa Maria Atzompa received six weeks of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) lessons during the months of October and November 2006.
Students learnt how to introduce themselves, describe their clay work and handle numbers. By having basic English knowledge on selling and describing their art, people from the communities have a better chance to directly sell their products to international visitors.

La familia lingüística otomangue es la más diversa en México en cuanto a la tipología de las lenguas y su clasificación histórica. Pero también es la familia más extensa en términos de número de hablantes—que probablemente sobrepasa un millón—y en su amplia distribución. Las lenguas otomangues se hablan desde San Luis Potosí en el norte hasta Oaxaca en el sur. Antiguamente se hablaban también desde Chiapas hasta Costa Rica. La mayor concentración de las lenguas otomangues se halla en el estado de Oaxaca, donde también se hablan varias otras lenguas indígenas no otomangues, como el chontal, huave, mixe, zoque y náhuatl.

Preserving Oral Tradition in Teotitlan del Valle Oaxaca

2008 News & Projects



Ollin Tlahtoalli is currently working on a documentary project with the community of Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, the aim is two fold: preservation of oral tradition within the community and active participation of people native to Teotitlan. This project will include workshops where children and adults interact as stories and legends are being told and illustrated by the children. If you would like to volunteer or collaborate in this project, contact Omar Nunez, director of the project and founder of Ollin Tlahtoalli Center: info@ollinoaxaca.org

Free English lessons for Oaxacan Artisans

Ollin Tlahtoalli has recently organized an English program for Oaxacan artisans. The first group that received free English classes was from a community called Santo Tomás Jalieza, a small village of female weavers whose products witness the magic and ability of the first inhabitants to this region somewhere around 500 a.c. Actually, this village became one of the most important Zapotec ceremonial centers after a time of social and political turmoil that affected some of the most important cities of Mesoamerica, including Monte Alban and Mitla.

Teaching these women was a remarkable experience, not only for their willingness to learn but for their personality and wisdom. There were seven people involved in this project, mainly participants of a teacher training program (SIT) and myself. I have taught English and Spanish for over ten years now and I have to say this was one of the most rewarding experiences both as a teacher and as the director of the center. Having these women at our center, learning a foreign language for their first time, has increased my motivation to continue running programs like this.

Hopefully, next year we´ll start a Spanish literacy program for people who had to abandon their hometowns looking for better opportunities here in the city. Unfortunately, many of these people were never given the opportunity to attend school and as they grow older the need to work surpassed the need to learn. Ours is a society that stigmatizes the poor and rejects those that look different. Our indigenous communities and their people have suffered this rejection and denial for many years up to the point where they do not consider themselves worthy of an education. This is so wrong. These people have made and continue to make Oaxaca what it is: a place full of colors, traditions and magic.
