Do any of my sociolinguist friends have thoughts on ways a smart 10th-grader (a friend's son) could get involved in learning about language variation and change? Any projects he could get involved with? Any ongoing citizen science opportunities? Thanks!
@garicgymro there's a brilliant MOOC from Uni of York. Would really recommend this https://www.york.ac.uk/language/undergraduate/mooc/
Introduction to Sociolinguistics: Accents, Attitudes and Identity MOOC - Language and Linguistic Science, University of York

@garicgymro but I'd also recommend the Manchester Voices project (Manchester Met) and the Dialect and Heritage project (Leeds Uni).
