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

@katehymes, 1/2 of @thornygames, will speak at our Tournament of Fun on July 13! Register for her talk and other events at https://t.co/W3vttlhI6p.

[LingLeague @LingLeague]

@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.”🙂

[LingLeague @LingLeague]

@Yaggyslatin Language acquisition research is linguistics.

[LingLeague @LingLeague]

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!
