FILL for Super Less Commonly Taught Languages (Course info)

The UW LLC in partnership with the UW Department of Linguistics will be piloting a program beginning in fall quarter 2025 titled, Facilitated Interdependent Language Learning (FILL) for Super Less Commonly Taught Languages.

The Facilitated Interdependent Language Learning (FILL) course is a unique learning opportunity to study a language that is not currently offered at UW. Students will work with a facilitator and language expert to design a learning plan for the quarter. Students will meet together with a facilitator once a week and separately with a language expert once a week. Through interdependent study with other learners, students will explore and develop their language and cultural competencies.
