Students did a research project early in the semester on a particular language. Each group of two picked a language out of a hat (Xhosa, Hungarian, Cherokee, Basque, Icelandic, Gaelic, Tok Pisin, Afrikaans, Croatian etc.) and had to research background information on the language. They used www.ethnologue.com as a starting point for their research. They created a map to show where the language was spoken and found sound clips online so that the class could hear the language. They also had to project whether or not the language would still be alive in 100 years.
