LLC Language Learning Facilities

For Students

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)

The LLC provides CALL courseware for integration into language curricula, providing self-paced as well as instructor-led learning activities. The courseware consists of interactive multimedia programs with visuals, sound, text, video, and self- or teacher-evaluation capabilities.

For Instructors

The LLC has three language labs. Instructors may bring their students into our labs to conduct class sessions using digital or analog video and audio. Students can listen to prepared material and record their voices. Teachers can monitor student pronunciation individually and/or in groups.Additionally, there are drop-in labs for student use. The drop-in labs are available during our regular hours of operation.

Making Reservations

  • Instructors should contact their departmental Staff Associate to reserve each lab.
  • Reservations need to be made at least one week in advance. See the next section for making reservations.
  • When making the reservation, the instructor should be as clear as possible regarding the intended purpose of the reservation. For example, will you need special software installed? Will you need to use an overhead projector? This type of information will enable LLC staff to make any necessary accommodations ahead of time.
  • Please contact you departmental Staff Associate for training on how to use our equipment.
