Less Commonly Taught Languages Program at Illinois

Less Commonly Taught Languages Program at Illinois The Department of Linguistics' LCTL Program offers instruction in Arabic, Hindi, Modern Greek, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Uzbek, Urdu and Wolof.

The Less-Commonly-Taught Languages (LCTL) Program is housed in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and offers instruction in Arabic, Hindi, Modern Greek, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Urdu, Uzbek, and Wolof. We support communicative proficiency-based language teaching as a way for our students to obtain the most from their language-learning experiences. We

emphasize the acquisition of grammar and vocabulary as necessary tools for spontaneous, creative, and meaningful communication and as a part of the four skills:reading, writing, listening and speaking. In the classroom, we encourage conversation, small-group problem solving, and other tasks that simulate real-life uses of language. Outside the classroom, we offer extra-curricular activities like conversation tables, films series, social hours, potlucks, picnics in order to practice the target language by learning about the culture where it is spoken.
