| The Critical Languages Program was created in order
to meet the need for instruction in less commonly taught languages (LCTLs)
which are not offered either by traditional departments or formats at
the University of Arizona.
All basic language courses emphasize speaking and aural comprehension
at the elementary and intermediate levels while a writing component is
incorporated at the advanced level. Languages offered vary from semester
to semester and year to year, depending upon student demand.
CLP is a unit of the College of Humanities and is affiliated with the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs (NASILP). The national professional and accrediting association headquartered at the University of Arizona. Standards and procedures for the design and administration of self-instructional language acquisition have been established by NASILP. The Critical Languages Program is the publisher and developer of the
Critical Languages
Series courseware on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM for Brazilian-Portuguese,
Cantonese, Chinese, Kazakh, Korean, Turkish, and Ukrainian. |
