This course is designed for students who need a more flexible approach to language learning than that offered in a standard classroom course. All materials are Web-based, with extensive use of Internet technologies for research, writing and communication. There is a required weekly class meeting for training and for group activities, plus individual weekly meetings with a tutor or the Instructor for conversation and practice. See www.languageonline.org for a more detailed description of requirements and class structure before enrolling.
