Language Resource Centre

The Language Department has created this resource centre to give students the opportunity to work individually, at their own pace, on a variety of assignments ranging from listening exercises to Internet-based assignments.

Students are expected to spend between 30 and 45 minutes a week in the LRC working on specific assignments prepared by their instructor. A list of assignments for each course is posted in the LRC on the white board.

Students receive a mark (from 10% to 15% depending on the course) for their oral-aural work in the Resource Centre. However, the LRC is also open for students who want to meet informally with their conversation instructor or with other students to work on group assignments. Resources such as language dictionaries are available to students.

Please ask the attendant for an orientation, if you have never used the Learning Branch platform, he or she will be happy to help you.

The LRC is staffed by:

• speakers of Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish, who can answer your language and tech related questions
• staff members who can assist you with the computers
