Support for teachers

Here are some materials to support teachers:

• UKLO pin-badges to use (for example) as local prizes
• recruitment posters
• a recruitment video (USA)
• sample test material
• some training shows (ppt) for pupils
• a ppt presentation to teachers (by Louis Blois, June 2013 at the Univ of Huddersfield) about the how, why and what of the Olympiad
• a discussion of linguistics clubs for pupils
• a small collection of starter-activities using UKLO-style material
• Babel (a school magazine about language) and its kid sister, Lingo (for primary schools).
• the support website for the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (but remember that the UK olympiad is pure linguistics, with very little about computing; our main aim is to promote interest in language structure, with logical thinking as a by-product)
• some training courses for teachers:
  • The University of Marburg’s Virtual Linguistics Campus (follow: ‘Lecture Hall’ > ‘English Linguistics (for teachers)’)
    • NB this now includes a ‘MOOC‘ (Massive Open Online Course) on linguistics – free!
