Our four digital language laboratories offer a rich, multimedia language-learning environment where video, sound, text and internet sources can be integrated and manipulated on screen.

The software in our labs makes studying more interesting, and helps our students learn faster and better. It also enables our lecturers to engage with students in real-time learning activities that combine the four major language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing.
