For Independent Learners

All companion websites for Georgetown University Press textbooks can be used either independently or in a class with an instructor. After joining their course, independent learners will enter their unique Lingco code to receive 18 months of access to the companion website.

I bought a textbook that does not include companion website access. What do I do?

If you have already purchased the standalone textbook and are unable to return it, you may purchase access to the companion website separately by clicking on the links below. The “card” version is a print card with a scratch-off code. The “code” version is electronically sent to the learner upon purchase. Email codes will be delivered by Hopkins Fulfillment Service (HFS). After entering your unique Lingco code, you will receive 18 months of access to the companion website.

I have a companion website access code. How do I redeem it?

To redeem your Lingco code, click here to set up an account or log in to Lingco. When prompted, select “Student,” and enter “Lingco Independent Learners” as your school. Next, enter the course code(s) that correspond to the textbook(s) you’re using:

Comme on dit: b1b2159
C’est ce qu’on dit: 13c0d4a

Once you’ve entered the course code, you will be able to access the 14-day grace period of the course. To enter your unique access code and gain access beyond the 14-day grace period, click on the banner at the top of the Lingco course that says “Pay for [your textbook name]”.

If you ordered the textbook(s) with website, the unique access code will be found in the front of your book. If you purchased the website separately from the textbook, use the code delivered to you via email from Hopkins Fulfillment Service or on your printed scratch-off card.

After entering your unique Lingco code, you will receive 18 months of access to the companion website.

Will I be able to use all of the companion websites’ functionality as an independent learner?

Yes. The companion websites include hundreds of activities, many of which provide automated feedback and/or sample answers. Some activities, however, may require manual grading by an instructor. In these cases, while independent learners can complete the activities, no instructor will provide any feedback on these activities.
