Linguistics, the scientific study of human language, is widely taught at the university level, but the findings and concepts of the discipline have not yet made their way into American K-12 education in any systematic way. In response to this challenge, the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) has launched an ambitious effort to develop an Advanced Placement (AP) course in Linguistics for the nation's high schools. Creating AP Linguistics will involve a collaborative effort between high school teachers and linguistics faculty from across the U.S. to create and deliver courses. AP Linguistics will need to recruit talented, enthusiastic high school faculty who are prepared to teach the AP Linguistics curriculum. Various experiments with introductory linguistics courses are currently underway in U.S. high schools, by English teachers, foreign language teachers, mathematics teachers, and social studies teachers. As part of its teacher recruitment effort, AP Linguistics proposes to send past and current experimenters to national and regional conferences in their subject matters to report on their efforts in relation to AP Linguistics, and to motivate others to join in.This award will provide travel support to enable U.S. high school teachers to attend national and regional conferences in connection with the LSA's AP Linguistics initiative and to speak to their fellow teachers about their efforts to develop introductory linguistics courses at the high school level. Rather than a "top-down" approach, wherein college faculty attempt to recruit from above, this award will let our national teachers speak for themselves from their own experiences.

语言学是对人类语言的科学研究，在大学层面广泛教授，但该学科的发现和概念尚未以任何系统的方式进入美国 K-12 教育。为了应对这一挑战，美国语言学会 (LSA) 发起了一项雄心勃勃的努力，为全国高中开发语言学先修课程 (AP)。创建 AP 语言学课程将涉及美国各地高中教师和语言学教师之间的合作，以创建和教授课程。 AP 语言学需要招募有才华、热情的高中教师，准备教授 AP 语言学课程。目前，美国高中的英语教师、外语教师、数学教师和社会研究教师正在进行各种语言学入门课程的实验。作为其教师招聘工作的一部分，AP 语言学建议派遣过去和现在的实验者参加其主题的国家和地区会议，报告他们在 AP 语言学方面所做的努力，并激励其他人加入。该奖项将提供差旅支持，使美国高中教师能够参加与 LSA 的 AP 语言学倡议相关的国家和地区会议，并与其他教师谈论他们为发展入门语言学所做的努力 高中水平的课程。这个奖项不是采用“自上而下”的方式，即大学教师试图从上层招聘，而是让我们的国家教师从自己的经历中为自己说话。
