Language Lab

language_labThe Dana Hall Language Lab provides students with a place to develop their oral and aural skills.

With 20 student carrels (or computer stations) and one instructor carrel, the Can-8 VirtuaLab is a learning solution designed to provide a virtual classroom. The lab, located in Wayside, is accessible to both the Middle and Upper School. 

Each station has a HP Compaq computer with a Samsung monitor and a network with many benefits:

Listening and speaking activities as well as more task-oriented, communicative activities in multiple languages

Instructors can track and evaluate progress and provide necessary feedback.

Students are able to follow class instruction or "drop in" and work on many different activities on their own

Can serve as a pronunciation coach, a tool for practicing conversation, grammar and comprehension skills or a testing site

Students have increased access to not only their teachers' voices but also those of native speakers.
