overview of this site and this project
The materials on this (very dynamic) site are focused on introducing middle school students (though it can be for nearly any grade or age) to linguistic analysis. See this overview of the unit.
I have also worked to integrate linguistics in the English language arts classroom, in the social studies classroom, and anywhere and everywhere. You can see some of the work with middle school teacher David Pippin here.
Linguistics in Middle School
Interdisciplinary Problem-Solving: Assessment of Scientific Awareness and Language Attitudes from a Linguistics Unit
David Pippin and Kristin Denham obtained IRB approval from Western Washington University and Boston Public Schools to conduct research on the efficacy of a unit on language within the context of a science classroom during the 2021-22 school year. Here's an overview of that proposal; here's an abstract of a presentation of this project at a June 2021 conference; and here are the slides from that presentation. This project was unable to proceed due to the impacts of COVID and other disruptions at Pippin's school. Some of the problem sets and data collection for that project and found here were created by Crow Chloupek (Armenian) and other work on the data and this site was done by Liz Ballentine during spring of 2022.
Denham and Pippin have also worked to integrate linguistics in the English language arts classroom, in the social studies classroom, and anywhere and everywhere. You can see some of our work here. This work building science-forming capacity is very much informed by the work of Maya Honda and Wayne O'Neil.
