Description
In this activity the students become language detectives and try to discover a mystery.
The class is divided into groups and each group receives a map of the world and a dictionary.
Each student receives an authentic letter in a language he doesn’t speak. The students try to fill in a dossier with information about the country from which the letter came and find out the meaning of the circled words in the letter. They spot the odd word out and solve the mystery.
