What is Directed Independent Language Learning (DILL)?

The CLCL recommends three learning pathways for students looking to learn a language not taught at the University of Iowa.  These include:

Online Resources

• Visit our Language Learning Resources page here!
• Mango: a free language-learning platform from Iowa City Public Library - log in here with your ICPL library card!
• Transparent Languages: another free language-learning platform from Iowa City Public Library - log in here with your ICPL library card!

Peer Tutoring

In some cases the CLCL can help you find a peer tutor.  This person may:

• Help you create learning objectives
• Create reading, writing, and speaking activities to help you with your learning
• Help you learn more about your target language and culture
• For more information, email lmc@uiowa.edu

Course Share for Less Commonly Taught Languages

• Enroll for credit in a course offered by another Big 10 Institution
• Best for students who want to earn credit for learning a language or level of language not offered at the University of Iowa
• Please Note: Not all languages are available in any given semester
