Correspondence Seminar: Bringing Linguistics to High Schools

Abstract

We present the concept of a correspondence seminar as a way to complement and support one-time contests, especially olympiads. We evaluate specific payoffs of this way of teaching linguistics, and compare its nature to that of a linguistics olympiad.

We believe that the correspondence seminar is a great way to introduce talented high school students to linguistics.
