Department of Humanities and Social Sciences
 

 

Language Lab

Dept of Humanities has a well-maintained Language Lab, where we conduct practical learning sessions for students to improve their listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. In a hundred square feet room, the seating arrangement is structured in two semi-circles, where forty students can be accommodated at a time and could work on their own individual computers. We have forty-two computers, where the students can acquire language skills in an easy and interactive way. Along with the lab, there is an aisle inside the lab for the students to practice their presentations, talks, role-plays, skits, etc. As part of the lab sessions, we screen documentaries, movies, and talks, and conduct group discussions and mock interviews.

This lab is an educational platform for the students to chisel and fine-tune their language skills. Though the lectures give them theoretical lessons to improve and learn new skills, the language lab platform gives them the opportunity to practice various skills, identify their weak points and performing areas, and could concentrate more. Lessons are structured based on role-plays, daily life situations, reading, and interpreting of films, and documentaries, listening exercises based on talks, and songs, and visual appreciation topics on movies and photographs.
