Foreword: Reissue of Innovations in Linguistics Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
Innovations in Linguistics Education (Innovations) was first published by the Indiana University Linguistics Club (IULC) in October of 1979. The journal was initiated under the auspices of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (now the Big Ten Academic Alliance) as the first institutionalized effort to promote communication about the way linguistics is taught (Aronoff & Sridhar, 1983/2017). Daniel Dinnsen (Indiana University) served as the editor for the full run of the journal, and the editorial board drew from institutions across the United States (see the end of this Foreword for a complete list). The goal of the journal was to move discussion about teaching beyond anecdotes shared over lunch at academic conferences by providing a formal and enduring forum for the exchange of ideas and materials for teaching linguistics. The following mission statement was printed on the inside cover of the first issue:
Intended (1) to stimulate the development of courses that address specific problems primarily in other disciplines or areas where there may be some benefit from linguistic theory, methodology, or findings and (2) to promote faculty development in these new teaching areas. Also, intended (3) to vitalize more conventional linguistics courses through the exchange of new data-based problems in phonology, syntax, and historical/comparative linguistics.
