DUE-9653366 PI: Barbara Lust Cornell University - Endowed Title: Linguistics and the Language Sciences: New Computer Based Methods and Materials for Undergraduate Education This proposal is to conduct a 6-day Workshop at the national Linguistic Society of America biennial meeting, to be held in Summer 1997, at Cornell University. At this workshop, which is expected to attract between 500-700 linguists, including both faculty and students, the major goals are to (i) provoke rethinking of current approaches to undergraduate education in linguistics; (ii) redirect attention to the fundamental properties of linguistics as a science, and as a medium for teaching essential concepts of scientific inquiry; (iii) introduce, disseminate and exchange current developments involving computer assisted teaching materials which foster this essential aspect of the field of linguistics. Participants will be able to gain experience with these recent teaching materials through the use of a newly equipped network of computer labs at Cornell. Within the last decade, a number of curricular efforts have emerged that attempt to utilize linguistics as a vehicle for undergraduate science teaching. This project will bring together a number of these efforts, introducing their design philosophy and results to a wider audience. Three current projects will be featured in curricular part of this workshop. The project called "Grammar as Science" started by Professor Richard Larson at SUNY-Stony Brook is one of these. This has reached the point of publishing software called Semantica and Syntactica for high school seniors and lower division undergraduates, which is available now through MIT Press. A second focal point is the Teacher Training Program at Wheelock College -- a participant in the Boston Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation, and one of the largest producers of K-12 teachers in Massachusetts. This program is focused on the objective of discovering how implicit knowledge of languag e can be used to develop an explicit grasp of the constructivist nature of scientific inquiry. This is being done by developing the use of linguistics as a tool for teaching scientific inquiry to 7th to 11th graders, and teaching undergraduates preparing for teaching careers in this method. The third project to be featured will be the Cornell University Network of Language Labs in the Cognitive Studies Program, which has been supported by an ILI grant from the NSF. This program is currently seeking to coordinate the study of linguistics with related subfields of Cognitive Studies -- psychology, computer science, and philosophy, by developing a unified, laboratory-based curriculum.

DUE-9653366 PI：Barbara Lust 康奈尔大学 - 授予标题：语言学和语言科学：本科教育基于计算机的新方法和材料 该提案旨在于 1997 年夏季在康奈尔大学举行的美国国家语言学会双年度会议上举办为期 6 天的研讨会。此次研讨会预计将吸引 500-700 名语言学家，包括教师和学生，其主要目标是 (i) 引发对当前语言学本科教育方法的重新思考； (ii) 将注意力转向语言学作为一门科学以及作为教授科学探究基本概念的媒介的基本属性； (iii) 介绍、传播和交流涉及计算机辅助教材的最新发展，这些材料促进了语言学领域的这一重要方面。参与者将能够通过使用康奈尔大学新配备的计算机实验室网络来获得这些最新教材的经验。 在过去的十年中，出现了许多尝试利用语言学作为本科科学教学工具的课程努力。 该项目将汇集许多这些努力，向更广泛的受众介绍他们的设计理念和成果。 本次研讨会的课程部分将重点介绍三个当前项目。 由纽约州立大学石溪分校理查德·拉尔森教授发起的名为“语法作为科学”的项目就是其中之一。 现在已经到了为高中生和低年级本科生发布名为 Semantica 和 Syntropica 的软件的阶段，该软件现在可以通过 MIT Press 获得。 第二个重点是惠洛克学院的教师培训计划，该学院是波士顿教师培训卓越合作组织的参与者，也是马萨诸塞州最大的 K-12 教师生产者之一。 该项目的目标是发现如何使用隐性语言知识来明确掌握科学探究的建构主义本质。 这是通过开发使用语言学作为向 7 至 11 年级学生教授科学探究的工具，并用这种方法教授准备从事教学职业的本科生来实现的。 第三个项目是康奈尔大学认知研究项目中的语言实验室网络，该项目得到了 NSF ILI 拨款的支持。 该项目目前正在寻求通过开发统一的、基于实验室的课程来协调语言学研究与认知研究的相关子领域——心理学、计算机科学和哲学。
