Project description
The project "Linguistik an Mittelschulen / La linguistique aux gymnase" was launched by the Swiss Society for Linguistics in autumn 2018. The project aims at strengthening the dialogue between middle schools and linguistic departments at universities throughout Switzerland. By introducing students and teachers to linguistic topics, the project would like to convey a realistic picture of the discipline.
In collaboration with experienced teachers, the project leader will develop teaching units and materials on linguistic topics for the use in class. The project will also organize information events adapted to the needs of middle schools to promote the personal exchange between students, teachers and linguistic departments. In the spirit of multilingualism, the project is based on a bilingual concept, covering both French- and German-speaking Switzerland.
