The LSA website has some resources of particular interest to K-12 students and teachers, especially:
- the Committee on AP Linguistics, which is working with the College Board to create a national AP curriculum for Linguistics;
- the Language in the School Curriculum Committee (LiSC), which engages the lingusitics community in K-12 instruction in language-related topics, including linguistics;
- the LSA's FAQ Pamphlets, which provide introductions on popular linguistics topics, written with the layperson in mind;
- the LSA's Issues in Linguistics pages, which provide information on a wide range of scholarly and social issues in the field, including language in the school curriculum and student issues;
- The Student Resource Hub.
High School students and teachers may also wish to find out more about NACLO, the North American Computational Linguistic Olympiad, a linguistics contest for high school students. The LSA is proud to sponsor the Olymiad.
