Abstract	This introductory unit to the exploratory language program, "Around the World," developed in South Carolina discusses the nature of language and so provides a framework in which to fit subsequent learning. It seeks to make students aware of the language they already use unconsciously. In line with this goal, it is divided into categories of activities useful for introducing and reinforcing six major concepts about language: (1) a sense of identity is important to us and is intimately connected with language; (2) languages are codes devised by humans to communicate about things, ideas, people, concepts and actions; (3) we live in the changing world of our language; (4) language is a set of rules made up "by no one and by everyone"; (5) language is not always spoken, not always written, but sometimes unspoken and includes symbols; and (6) languages are born, grow, and die. Following these sections is a chart and explanation of language families. An appendix presents a dialogue about a man from outer space arriving on earth, activity suggestions, and an adaptation of an article on American personnel in Micronesia. (AMH)
