Language Lab

The purpose of a language lab is to involve students to actively participate in language learning exercises and get more practice than otherwise possible in a traditional classroom environment.
How much speaking practice each student gets during a 45-minute language class, depending on class size:
Class | 10 Student Class | 30 Student Class |
---|---|---|
Traditional Classroom | ~1 minute | ~21 minute |
Classroom with language lab | ~11 minute | ~11 minute |
With a language lab, all students in the class can speak simultaneously without distracting each other regardless of the class size. Without a language lab, in a class of more than 10 students, each student gets less than one minute of speaking practice.
