Benefits of the Language Learning Laboratory & Resource Center
  
How the Lab Can Help You

Utilizing the learning resources in the Langauge Laboratory can deeply enhance your educational experience. We understand that learning a second or additional language requires some investment (and is always well worth the effort required!).

Since students have many different learning styles, the Language Laboratory offers a variety of learning aids and approaches, spanning computerized, video and more traditional resources.




  • Computer Applications   We offer a variety of computer programs to assist in the language learning process. Completing various lessons in some of these programs are a required component of some courses. Modern software is often brilliantly designed, and helps the learner grasp key concepts quickly and practice pronunciation modelling a native speaker. These programs are often fun to use as well.
 
  • Video Materials    The Language Laboratory has a huge collection of video titles from around the world. Our video library includes critically-acclaimed moves from a variety of nations, documentaries, cultural guides, and language practice lessons, including the noted Destinos video series in Spanish. We also have some American favorites/classics which have been translated to other languages (such as The Wizard of OZ in French, or Star Wars in German).
  • Printed Ancillaries   We have various dictionaries, books, maps, magazines and newspapers, representing a wide array of countries and languages from around the world.
  • Audio Materials & Self-study Guides   To round out our collection, we have a massive library of traditional audio material, spanning most of the languages we teach.
