Third Term Russian Class Reinvents Soundtracks
Working individually and in groups, students selected a favorite tv commercial to dub in Russian using iMovie, a perfect ease-of use- tool, enabling focus on the language learning aspect and not the technology. Students enjoyed selecting the material and undertaking a creative project which promoted involvement and a sense of "ownership". Students wrote scripts, practiced, and recorded. Culminated in an iMovie fest in the Language Center complete with popcorn and soda. |

French Practice
Although the Language Center boasts the latest and best in computing technology, the humble teacher console and student carrels of the traditional lab are still called into action. When the old technology just makes more sense in meeting a pedagogical need, the newfangled technology takes a second seat. |

Language Center Mix
Something is always going on in the LC. The variety and richness of activities and interactions occurring day in and day out (faculty holding classes or meeting students in small groups, students working together and mingling) creates a sense of excitement and community. With students of all languages and levels working and hanging out, the place has a life and rhythm all its own. |

Chinese Language students busy at work
Students studying Chinese call the Language Center their second home. It is amazing to watch them work together--diligent, focused, intense. All quietly working, then the interruption of a question, discussion, then back to work. |
