SLA Frequently Asked Questions

Our Second Language Acquisition (SLA) courses are taught entirely online. Our primary goal is to equip people with the basic knowledge and skills for becoming effective learners no matter which approach to language learning they take — formal opportunities such as learning at a language school or with a tutor, informal opportunities such as learning by means of a network of relationships, or a combination of formal and informal learning.

Listed below are answers to some of the most common questions we’ve been asked about our online courses. If you have additional questions, please contact us at icct@ wheaton.edu and our director will get back to you.
