Audio

The FLLC has an extensive collection of audio programs for students in many of our supported languages. Additionally, we maintain master copies of most of the ancillary audio materials accompanying course textbooks.

Video

The Center maintains a comprehensive foreign film library in both VHS and DVD formats. In addition, we maintain master copies of all video ancillaries accompanying course textbooks. Faculty may reserve and/or check out video materials for instructional purposes. Students may view materials in the Center unless alternate arrangements have been made by their instructors to borrow materials overnight.

Classrooms

The FLLC can schedule a number of classroom spaces depending upon the requirements of individual instructors:

• The Sony Lab: offers simultaneous and/or independent listening and/or video viewing in an instructor-led environment.
• Wireless Classrooms: Room 102 is the space originally designated as the wireless computer classroom. This room offers ideal conditions for video viewing, projection, or independent work on laptop computers in a modern, flexible setting.
• Sound Proof Room: The sound proof room is ideal for the creation of audio course materials and aural/oral language testing.
• Seminars: The Center has two rooms available for small groups such as upper-level seminars to meet in a comfortable setting. In addition, room 106A is equipped with a satellite feed so that students and faculty can view international programming together.
