We have found that prospective participants' subjective judgments are valid indicators of readiness to participate in LxC. Moreover, because of the assistance you will receive in LxC study-group meetings, your ability to exhibit what you have learned from LxC assignments will not depend on showing that your reading proficiency is improving. LxC is not a language-instruction program, so gains in language proficiency come as strictly incidental benefits. No, but some LxC study groups may offer you opportunities to practice your speaking and listening skills. LRSs will however ensure that discussion takes place in English to the extent necessary for everyone in the study group to understand everything that is said. The purpose of LxC assignments is to foster understanding and insight, not translating ability.
Translation requires skill, knowledge, and experience beyond even full bilingual proficiency.
Do not gauge your success in LxC by your ability to translate LxC assignment materials into English. Gauge your success in LxC instead by your ability, after the study-group discussion, to explain how an LxC assignment contributes to the content of your course. Perhaps, but this is not its purpose and you do not need to acquire this ability in order to succeed in the LxC component of your course. LxC is not a language-instruction program. LxC focuses on content rather than structure, on meaning rather than form.
