ELS computer lab
English Language Studies maintains a multimedia computer lab to support language learning and teaching using educational technology. With 25 individual computer workstations, the lab provides students with access to general-purpose software applications and internet access, as well as educational resources such as Blackboard, Learning Branch, American Speech Sounds, and Pronunciation Power.
Open Lab times are available for students who wish to use computer software to help them in any skill area or to complete course projects and assignments, and we provide personal assistance to students with technical difficulties related to ELS courses.
*Open Lab hours vary each term and are posted at the beginning of each semester.
