The Language Laboratory provides services to the various departments of the faculty:
Sunday through Thursday,
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Laboratory contains 35 booths; each containing a Pentium 4 computer linked to both Novell and Microsoft central file servers. Each machine has a Windows XP operating system an Office XP professional suite of programs and of course the ability for browsing the web. A large number of programs for self help language learning are available on the network file servers.

Each booth has a specialized tape recorder linked to the computer enabling a student to listen to a text and at the same time make a recording of the student’s voice.

The Teacher's console enables the teacher to directly view and if necessary take control of a student's screen or tape recorder.

The Teacher is also able to broadcast a video to each student screen

A teacher holding a lesson has first priority in the laboratory and has a right to exclude any or all students who are not members of the class.

Students who have to do serious work are allowed to request other students who are not actively involved in University work (email and games) to surrender their places if no other booth is available.
