The Lab now has 14 operational computers to run CD-ROM and DVD programs for beginning language classes. In addition all computers are equipped with webcams so that students may practice their new language by conversing with other students around the world in thier native language.
The lab units see their most intensive use in first-year instruction in German, Spanish, French, Japanese and Russian. Each first-year class allots at least one hour weekly for lab practice. The department employs undergraduate language majors as lab attendants for about 50 open lab hours each week. This allows students to use the facility at their convenience and practice on their own. The facility is also used by foreign students studying English.
Students may use departmental computers for extra practice in language skills. The department continually acquires valuable new software for these purposes.
