If I have completed only one or two units of a language, can I pursue the LxC component of a course?
Yes, but LxC assignments generally assume intermediate reading proficiency, which most students attain by the end of 3 or 4 years of high school or 3 or 4 semesters of college level language instruction. A small number of LxC participants have had less background than this, but they have consistently expressed frustration over their inability to benefit much from the language-based nature of LxC assignments. This has not, however, kept motivated participants from performing well in study-group discussion of the content of these assignments.
