Open Languages, the University of Liverpool’s Institution-Wide Language Programme, will launch a suite of language modules for students, staff, and the general public. Covering Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish, we have a varied choice of languages, with a flexible new learning system.
You will learn through a flexible model that combines online content to work through in your own time with small group seminars and discussion with our expert tutors. All Open Language modules will be online throughout Semester 1. We have provided a guide to online teaching which you can access here.
