Language Lab

The Language Laboratory, located in 102 Blaustein, supports the foreign language departments and the Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts ( CISLA ). We also work closely with other College resources and programs to advance the integration of new learning technologies into the liberal arts curriculum.

The collection of audiocassettes, videocassettes, laser discs, CD-ROMs and DVDs includes materials in Arabic, Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Japanese, Kiswahili, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. Students may use audiocassettes in correlation with departmental courses or for independent work on listening comprehension and speaking skills. DVD, videotapes and videodiscs in the collection include instructional programs that correspond to course textbooks as well as feature films (with and without subtitles).

In addition, televised news from over two dozen countries is available. Computer-aided instruction in all the languages offered at the College is also supported (Mac and PC available). Contact the Language Lab (x2180) for more information.
