Critical Languages Program (CRLP)
The Critical Language Program is designed to offer basic language instruction (four semesters) in languages not currently offered as major fields of study in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages. The most common languages taught in the CRLP program at the University of Connecticut are listed at the end of this section. Other languages may be offered based upon student interest and the Programs ability to find the necessary personnel. Critical languages may be used to fulfill the foreign language requirement. Note: Some critical languages, because of area study requirements or other specific circumstances, may be offered under the regular instructional method and the following course descriptions with four credits apply. These subject areas listed alphabetically throughout this course directory are: American Sign Language, Japanese, Modern Greek and Polish. First semester. Four credits. Prerequisite: Not open to students with prior contact with the language. Second semester. Four credits. Prerequisite: 101 or the equivalent. First semester. Four credits. Prerequisite: 102 or the equivalent. Second semester. Four credits. Prerequisite: 103 or the equivalent. Note: 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). This method relies on four hours of student self-instruction per week, using the approved book/tape program; two or three hours per week of drill sessions led by the Conversation Partner; four or five quizzes per semester; and an oral final examination conducted by the Outside Examiner, a member of the faculty of an Institution of Higher Education which offers the language. In order to be eligible to register for a course offered through the NASILP method, students must have sophomore standing, a B (3.0) cumulative Grade Point Average, and the support of their academic advisor. Students seeking to register should bring an unofficial transcript and a letter from their advisor to Room 128, J.H.Arjona Building during pre-registration for the following semester. When taught in this manner, the following course descriptions with three credits apply. These subject areas listed alphabetically throughout this course directory are: Arabic, Chinese, Critical Languages Program, Hindi, Korean and Vietnamese. First semester. Four credits.
