ABSTRACT
This article gives a useful account of the work of the Committee for Linguistics in Education of which the author is Chairman, and then goes on to offer practical suggestions for implementing linguistics-based in-service courses. Among the wide range of issues addressed by Mike Riddle are the teaching of linguistics as a school subject, the applications of linguistics to learning problems and to the teaching of English in particular, and the nature of the discipline of linguistics itself. The final part of the article contains a number of interesting suggestions for teaching activities which draw in a principled way on the subject of linguistics.
