Integrating research infrastructures into teaching : recommendations and best practices : the case of CLARIN

Abstract

According to the UPSKILLS Needs Analysis (Gledić et al., 2021), linguistics and language-related programs seldom include language data standards and research data repositories in their learning outcomes. This gap underscores a significant opportunity to integrate essential knowledge and skills students need to engage in data-driven research and learning. In response to this gap, Simonovic, M. et al. (2023) developed guidelines for integrating ongoing academic research and research infrastructures into the curricula of language-related programmes. Specific learning outcomes related to the use of infrastructures for obtaining, analysing, managing and sharing data have been included in the course design template of RBT courses. This document complements the RBT guidelines by providing practical guidance on selecting infrastructures, language resources and tools in the language classroom.
