TY Linguistics Module

In collaboration with the ADAPT All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO), we have developed a Transition Year (TY) module on Linguistics. The module consists of 10 topics covering linguistics topics such as sounds, writing systems, language acquisition and machine translation. This TY Linguistics Module offers a set of teacher resources for use in the classroom. Teachers can complete all the topics or focus on those more relevant to their context. Certificates are also available on completion. 

To receive information on the module (and be able to receive completion certs etc.) register your interest in the module by adding your school details at this link.

ADAPT’s new ‘Technology in My Life’ programme, developed in collaboration with Mary Immaculate College, engages primary school students (aged 10-13 years) in teacher-led workshops on the ethical use of technology.

These modular teacher-led workshops will explore how to use technology in an ethically correct manner and in accordance with the moral and ethical standards of the school, the children’s home, and society in general.

The lessons here provide teachers with resources (i.e., presentations and teacher guides) for each of the seven workshops that make up the Technology in My Life series.

All Ireland Linguistic Olympiad

The All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO) is a contest in which secondary school students develop their own strategies for solving problems in fascinating languages from around the globe. Students must use their ingenuity to solve Puzzles such as deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics, decoding numerical spy codes, and interpreting ancient Mayan poetry.  No prior knowledge of linguistics or a second language is required, as even the hardest problems require only logical ability, patient work, and a willingness to think around corners. AILO introduces students to linguistics (i.e. the study of human language) and to the application of logic to problems of language understanding and translation. The goal is to develop students’ problem-solving skills and to inspire them to consider the fascinating range of Careers at the intersection of computing, linguistics and language.
