Daniel explains how, along with teachers Amy Ward Gordon and Kate Webster Blythe, designed and ran a high school linguistics program.

What were the challenges? How did the program change? Did OzCLO puzzles work for students? What advice do our teachers give to other non-linguists who would like to try this kind of thing?

Presented at the annual conference of the Australian Linguistic Society at Macquarie University, Wednesday 19 December 2019.

Language Across Time was a session for secondary students to learn about historical linguistics. Other organisers were Bethwyn Evans of ANU and Luisa Miceli of UWA. This session was part of the International Conference of Historical Linguistics, run by ANU and the Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language.

There’s also a page of resources, with videos and worksheets for students to follow along.

Here are the videos.
