The program teaches practical language skills through intensive practice with audio tapes reinforced by small group tutorials arranged with native-speaking tutors. Many students are attracted by the flexible scheduling, class size, and the opportunity for cultural exchange. Each course is worth three credits and meets for three hours a week. Students are expected to spend at least 6-8 hours per week outside of class on tape study. All first and second year language courses count towards UB's second language requirement .
