what is language lab?We Answered:
In my opinion, the best form of language lab is where an instructor is listening in to the students' repetitions of phrases and provides individual feedback to the students through their headsets. This was the situation available to me in a French immersion course.Language labs can also be operated through computers and students see the print form of expressions, hear the correct pronunciation and phrasing and then have a chance to repeat what they heard (as many times as they feel necessary).
A classroom application that has been around for over 30 years is the "Language Master" machine (used in ESL and special education settings). Cards with magnetic tape strips are recorded with correct pronunciations and words or symbols are printed on the card. Students run the cards through the machine, listen to the teachers and record their own responses without taping over the teachers' speaking. The teacher can then listen to the students' at a later time.
