Linguistics in Education

[Alex Baratta]

Hi all,

 

I'd love to be involved with this. One implication of this subject, as the website states, is that it requires a more grounded knowledge of syntax on the part of the teachers. I'm not suggesting they don't have this knowledge of course, but that it might represent knowledge not previously required for younger students. However, it is needed, as there are of course nouns/verbs which are more prototypical than others and for whom traditional definitions don't always fit. I'm happy to work on a collaborative project in any way I can, as educational linguistics is an area I'm involved with.

 

Best,

 

Alex

That's a super idea, Francis, and surely the sort of project to which a wiki is best suited, i.e., coming up with a collective, received articulation of how the phenomenon we're all interested in should actually be defined.

I recently came across a Wikipedia entry for 'linguistics in education':

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics_in_Education

 

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to put the collective wisdom of the Edling  list to developing it or, perhaps, creating a new entry for 'educational linguistics'.
