Students from Carpinteria High School will present their research on language and culture in their local community, from surfing to youth groups. Students conducted their research as part of a special high-school class in linguistics as part of the UCSB SKILLS academic outreach project. The mission of SKILLS is to promote academic success by fostering students’ exploration of language in their lives and communities.
