The Language Learning Center (LLC) is a state-of-the-art, multimedia, digital language lab. The LLC supports the teaching and learning of languages by assembling language learning technologies and by providing a place where language classes are held, where faculty receive training and support in the use of instructional technology, and where students work on assignments related to their language classes. The facility consists of a lab/classroom, a reception/circulation area, and a media server room.

Mission Statement

The mission of the LLC is to enhance the teaching and learning of foreign language and language-related courses via the use of current technology. Using multimedia equipment and software, students have access to a variety of resources ranging from audio files, videos, movie clips, and the Internet to electronic workbooks, online learning centers, email with native-speaking penpals, and chats in the target language. Students practice their language skills by interacting with their instructors and with each other and by working independently. Instructors supplement their traditional teaching methods with technology to actively involve students in real-life language learning experiences.
