| Title | Lesson Plan: African Languages |
| Body | From http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/18/g912/afrolanguage.html African Language Diversity Overview: The linguistic diversity of Africa is considered by some to be a problem for its people. For example, estimates range from as low as 800 to just over 2,000 languages spoken within the continent. In fact, there still exist some languages with no writing systems. This lesson introduces students to the study of languages, known as linguistics, and explores the linguistic categorization of African languages—including an examination of the possible causes for, and effects of, such language diversity. Students will think about language's role in shaping the environment, and the role of the environment in shaping language(s). Access the lesson plan, which includes suggested activities with links to useful websites, suggestions for assessment, and suggestions for extension, at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/18/g912/afrolanguage.html . |
