The Critical Languages Program is a self-instructional program which requires you to be highly motivated and self-directed. You are responsible for your own learning through careful work with the text, multimedia materialsand other learning materials.

The communicative structure of the tutorials requires thorough preparation and participation on the part of each student. Because the verbal aspects of the language are emphasized in class, your participation depends on thorough preparation. Understanding the linguistic concepts and writing out the exercises is just the first step. Since you are preparing for a class "in " the language, not "about " the language, the next all-important step is verbal practice in applying what you have learned.

Self-instruction really does work. Students enjoy and benefit from the small classes and the interactive and participatory nature of the class sessions. They also feel a sense of accomplishment, not only in their ability to use the language, but in their ability to learn on their own.

Your success depends on you--on your motivation, attitude, participation, and especially on your self-discipline and work habits.
