The Swedish Model of Public Outreach of Linguistics to secondary school Students through Olympiads
نویسندگان
چکیده
What is it that we want to achieve with our Linguistic Olympiads and how do the contests vary in different countries? The Swedish Olympiad has been running for 7 years now and is primarily focused on public outreach spreading linguistics to secondary school students. The contest involves not only a test but also lectures, school visits and teaching material. The effort is put on promoting the interest of linguistics to students through fun material and good contact with teachers of languages. This presentation contains an overview of the Swedish version of Olympiads in Linguistics as well as some concrete examples of workshop material on linguistic problems for secondary school students.
