@UjuAnya Hi! We’re a high school student linguistics organization. We have many summer events coming up for teens who love language!

My 15yo decided to learn Japanese for fun. He spends hours making flash cards and practicing pronunciation and texts me random facts about linguistic history, numbers, characters, and I can’t stop thinking how goat don’t make cow.

@katehymes, 1/2 of @thornygames, will speak at our Tournament of Fun on July 13! Register for her talk and other events at tiny.cc/TOF2022.

@Yaggyslatin Language pedagogy/methodology is rooted in linguistic theory (Krashen, Vygotsky, Bakhtin, Freire, etc). The fields are deeply intertwined. Teachers and students would benefit from more collaboration between experts and practitioners on both “sides.”🙂

@Yaggyslatin Language acquisition research is linguistics.

Prof. Fellbaum will give a talk on NLP (7/19, 7-8 PM UTC) and one on WordNet and idioms (7/2, 7-8 PM UTC) at our Tournament of Fun! To listen to her talks and attend tons of other linguistics events for middle and high schoolers worldwide, sign up at tiny.cc/TOF2022.

@SpeakinFluently Teaching language and teaching linguistics are mutually exclusive.

What’s a language myth you hear a lot and would like to bust, #LangTwt?
