Language Instruction

Polish 101/102 Elementary Levels I, II @

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Some critical languages, because of area study requirements or other specific circumstances, may be offered under the regular instructional method. The method of instruction for most critical language courses follows the self-study format established by the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs (NASILP). In brief, this method offers a combination of native-speaking tutors for drill sessions, appropriate texts and tapes in the target language, and a final examination by an external evaluator.
COURSE INSTRUCTOR: Pukas-Palimaka, D.
