Throughout the courses, students are exposed to a variety of listening materials from university lectures, class discussions, movies, television programs and music. They gain familiarity with many different accents and styles of speaking so they are prepared for listening tasks in university classes and their daily lives.
Reading

Learning by doing is emphasized, and an eclectic teaching approach is employed.
Grammar

Writing
In the writing course, students do personal and academic writing. Throughout the semester, students have a chance to experiment with a variety of forms of writing, from journal entries and letters to critiques, essay examinations, and short papers that involve use of the library. Students read and respond to each other's writing, and in the process become more aware of their own strengths and weaknesses as writers. They learn to revise and edit their papers as they learn how to express their ideas as clearly as they can.
Classes are 50 or 75 minutes long. Students receive official grades (A-F) for each of their courses. These grades are recorded on an official University of Iowa transcript.
