The Language Laboratory provides
services to the various departments of the faculty:
Sunday through Thursday,
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.
