International Linguistic Olympiad

IOL

The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is an annual competition for high school students (typically up to 18 years old) who are fascinated by the world of language. It’s a unique competition that tests their logical thinking and problem-solving skills through the lens of linguistics, the scientific study of language. The IOL is an excellent opportunity for students who are curious about language and enjoy logical puzzles. It’s not a test of specific languages, but rather how students can think critically and creatively about how language works.

In the UAE, www.olympiads.org is the official representative of International Olympiad Foundation (IOF) and it conducts qualifiers for the International Linguistic Olympiad (IOL) on a systematic basis.

Benefits of IOL:

  • Intellectual Challenge: Provides a stimulating and unique intellectual challenge that goes beyond traditional language learning.
  • Develop Critical Thinking: Sharpens logical reasoning and problem-solving skills applicable in various fields.
  • Appreciating Language: Deepens students’ understanding and appreciation for the intricacies of language and communication.
  • Global Connection: Opportunity to connect with other language enthusiasts from around the world.

Syllabus:

No prior knowledge is necessary to compete at the IOL: every problem is self-contained. The best preparation possible is to attempt as many past problems as you can. Start with the samples if you’re new to IOL problems and when you’re ready take the past problems.

It’s amazing to win a bronze medal. It’s the fruit of my hard work. I spent a lot of time studying but also had fun at the competition; after every single test they took us for a tour to relax and appreciate nature in nearby place.
