High School Linguistics

 

The Department of Linguistics is involved in a number of initiatives to introduce the field of Linguistics to U.S. high school students. These initatives will benefit schools and their students, as well as the field of Linguistics itself. The appeal of Linguistics for American high school students includes the following:

  • Linguistics offers a uniquely effective medium for STEM education.
  • Linguistics offers tools to navigate a multilingual, multicultural world.
  • Linguistics offers critical tools and knowledge for foreign language study.
  • Linguistics offers a pathway to exciting new careers, such as speech pathology and language technology.
  • Linguistics offers opportunities for high school-university collaboration.
