Using Conlangs in the Classroom

The podcast episode discusses the use of conlangs in the classroom, specifically focusing on a course taught by Jesse at Stephen F. Austin State University. The course involves students creating their own languages and explores various linguistic concepts including sounds, grammar, and word building. Students work on developing a grammatical sketch of their language, complete with examples and cultural considerations. The course also encourages students to engage with the conlanging community through Twitter assignments and participation in a conlang relay. While not all students continue actively conlanging after the course, many develop a deeper interest in language and linguistics.
