UKLO = UK Linguistics Olympiad Welcome to UKLO! We run an annual competition in which school children solve problems based on real languages. It's a test of skill and insight, not of how well you know...

Stanivuković je uklanjanje spomenika ocijenio kao "pobjedu razuma i poštovanja prema žrtvama", ističući da u Rs ne bi smjelo biti prostora za obilježja koja se povezuju sa fašizmom i ustaštvom.

I’ve recently talked to several high school teachers who expressed interest in resources about linguistics, so I thought I’d compile all the ones I’m aware of into a handy resource post. If you know any teachers who might be interested, do feel free to pass this along! Olympiads  The International Linguistics Olympiad and its regional spinoffs (NACLO for North America, OzCLO for Australia, UKLO, and so on) typically have local rounds to qualify for the national team in January or February, and then the international competition is in July. You may be able to find a local round already happening at a nearby university, or host one at your own school. Here’s a list of the national competitions; here’s a list of NACLO university sites.  There are also dozens of olympiad practice problems and solutions online, which make great activities – they’re challenging like logic puzzles but no linguistics background is necessary. A list from IOL; a list from NACLO (both of them link to further lists).   Classroom Activities I taught a linguistics session at a summer camp for 9 to 14 year olds and documented the activities that I did with them in my ling camp series: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4.  More extended topics include learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), for which IPA Bingo and IPA Scrabble are good practice activities, and drawing syntax trees, for which see my how to draw syntax trees series and practising syntax trees using cards & string. There’s also the social-studies-ish topic of linguistic diversity, for which useful resources are: WALS, DARE, Algonquian linguistic atlas (and other language atlases), Ethnologue, Omniglot, Langscape. Suzanne Loosen has taught a high school linguistics class since 2011: see her blog and her 2014 article in Language (paywalled, but worth trying to get ahold of if you‘re thinking of teaching linguistics in more depth, as she describes activities, resources, and efforts by other people to teach linguistics in high school). Also relevant are this article on linguistics and ESL classes, this post on grammatical terms, and this post and the links within for thoughts on integrating linguistics into various parts of the high school syllabus.  Neal Whitman has given several guest lectures at his sons’ elementary school, which he writes up here. If your school is near a university with a linguistics program, it might be worth emailing the admin person or the chair to see if there’s a linguistics prof or student who’d be interested in coming to talk to your class. Amy Plackowski is a high school teacher who tweets about what she’s doing with her high school linguistics class under the hashtag #HighSchoolLinguistics and has a document of books (fiction and nonfiction) and podcast accessible to high school students. Further Resources  Very accessible books that I have not personally used but have heard good things about: Linguistics for Dummies, Linguistics for Everyone. More traditional textbook that I have used and like: Contemporary Linguistics. I’ve also written a protolinguist series compiling online resources for teaching oneself linguistics, which has a lot of helpful links (though some are dead by now). See also: A very long list of pop linguistics books and lingfic.  There are several youtube channels with videos about linguistics: Crash Course Linguistics, The Ling Space and Popular Linguistics have medium-length (5-15 min) videos about more detailed topics, while Tom Scott’s Language Files and LingVids have shorter, more specific videos (under 5 min). The Linguistic Society of America has full-length lectures from prominent linguists about current topics. And this trio of videos is about the history of English, Germanic, and Indo-European. Here’s my videos tag and long list of videos.  There are also several linguistics podcasts, including monthly half-hour episodes from Lingthusiasm (my podcast with Lauren Gawne), Because Language, and The Vocal Fries. (See Superlinguo’s list of language and linguistics podcasts for more.) Many further resources appropriate for beginners of all ages are linked to in How to Teach Yourself Linguistics Online for Free and Mutual Intelligibility.  Supporting students with a deeper interest in linguistics  I’ve written several articles aimed at high school students already keen on linguistics: Protolinguistics: 6 ways to do linguistics in high school, on writing an IB extended essay in linguistics (& follow-up), and advice on finding an undergraduate linguistics program.  Other external events which may be relevant depending on your location: SLIYS (a summer program in Ohio), COSI Language Pod (a museum also in Ohio), Language Science for Everyone at Maryland, and courses for high school students at MIT. Linguistics Bowl is an online linguistics quiz bowl for high school students. If you’re a teacher, you may be interested in the Facebook group High School Teachers Incorporating Linguistics or the #HighSchoolLinguistics hashtag on Twitter. The Linguistics Society of America has a group of people working on an AP Linguistics course, which you can also get in touch with.  Anyone else have resources to add? Or if you’re a teacher, are there other things that would be useful to know about? Are you a high school student? You may be more interested in 6 ways to do linguistics in high school.
