Language lab helps in better communication

Students at the Avinashilingam Deemed University have begun developing their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, using the facilities available at the full-fledged language laboratory established in the Department of English. Practical knowledge of English is aimed at helping the learners communicate effectively with people around the world in areas such as technology, travel, business and entertainment. Teachers can monitor the learning activities of students and offer advice individually or in groups.

Learners occupy 20 listening stations connected to the main computer. Individual interaction between teacher and student facilitates faster grasp of the fundamentals, besides making practice and feedback easy.

Gaining mastery over a variety of listening and speaking skills is possible by using graded lessons and practical work recorded every week.

The lab has software for students at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.

While students deficient in English will be able to improve their skills, those who already have good command of the language will be able to build confidence to face interviews and competitive examinations. Language laboratory sessions include word games, puzzles, debates and skits
