UPgrading the SKIlls of Linguistics and Language Students (UPSKILLS) is a strategic partnership for higher education between institutions from Austria, Croatia, Italy, Malta (the coordinator), the Netherlands, Serbia and Switzerland funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ and the Swiss Movetia programmes. The project has sought to identify and tackle the gaps in skills of linguistics and language students in order to enhance their employability and make them better prepared for careers in research and industry. To achieve this goal, the project partners have developed open-access teaching and learning materials to be embedded in existing and future university curricula, best practices for research-based teaching and educational games.

In this presentation, I will present the interactive materials and games that have been developed under the auspices of UPSKILLS, and give information about how they can be accessed and used in existing study-units. The areas covered in this regard include: analytical thinking and problem solving, automatic speech recognition, data collection from human participants, language data science, language typology and variation, machine learning, project management, programming with Python, research methodology and text processing, while our dedicated materials are intended to improve students’ research, data manipulation, technical, organisational, transversal and disciplinary skills.
