Self-Instructional Language Program (SILP)

The Self-Instructional Language Program provides motivated students the opportunity to acquire basic skills in languages not commonly taught on campus. Tutoring sessions are limited to 10 students. Being essentially self-instructional, these program offerings should be regarded as somewhat more demanding of time than a regular classroom course taught in the traditional manner. Students learn through three hours of weekly sessions with a native speaker and self instruction using texts and cassette tapes or Web-based tutorials. Courses are graded by final examination only. SILP courses do not satisfy the General Education language requirement, with the exception of HBRW 101 and HBRW 102.
