Abstract

Abstract This article introduces a novel linguistics pedagogy resource called the Language Profiles Project (LPP), an open access resource for linguistics instructors and students. The goal of the LPP is to make it easier and more engaging for instructors in North American institutions to incorporate underrepresented languages into undergraduate linguistics courses. More concretely, a language profile combines data sets for use in linguistics courses with contextual information about the language and culture. In this article, I describe the resource, the motivations for creating it, and some ways in which it could be used.
