Abstract

Summer Linguistics Institute for Youth Scholars (SLIYS), held on The Ohio State University campus, offers intensive courses in linguistics to high school students from Ohio and around the world. Each year, nearly 100 students participate in 1- or 2-week-long camps where they engage in the scientific study of language and experience a realistic introduction to academics and university life. The programme's objectives are to provide students with the linguistic tools needed to understand their native language, become better learners of a foreign language and investigate unknown languages. Beyond academics, the high school camp immerses students into university life in a controlled environment providing a non-threatening experience in academia to students unfamiliar with college. This article describes the evolution of SLIYS and its current incarnation, specifically how and why it works. We discuss the goals of the programme, the structure of SLIYS and how it is sustained, how the programme is assessed, and finally we share information about the general cost of the programme and our recruiting efforts that ensure that SLIYS continues in future years.

高中生语言学:夏令营模式
夏季青年语言学研究所(SLIYS)在俄亥俄州立大学校园举办,为来自俄亥俄州和世界各地的高中生提供语言学强化课程。每年有近100名学生参加为期一到两周的夏令营,在那里他们从事科学的语言学习,并体验对学术和大学生活的现实介绍。该课程的目标是为学生提供理解母语、更好地学习外语和研究未知语言所需的语言工具。除了学术之外,高中夏令营让学生沉浸在一个受控的环境中,为不熟悉大学的学生提供一个没有威胁性的学术体验。本文描述了SLIYS的演变及其当前版本,特别是它的工作原理和原因。我们讨论了项目的目标,SLIYS的结构以及如何维持,如何评估项目,最后我们分享了项目的一般成本和我们的招聘工作,以确保SLIYS在未来几年继续下去。
