>Language Laboratory - Government Polytechnic Siwan
Introduction
A language laboratory is a system that transforms a passive language class into an active speaking-based learning environment. This helps the language teacher to save a substantial amount of time and manage their language learning activities by using the target language. Usually, when using language laboratories, the teaching focus shifts to using audio-visual teaching aids instead of teaching the second language through textbooks and grammar rules. The language lab concept has been the most prominent application to use technology to enhance English and foreign language teaching methods in our formal education sector.
Purpose
The purpose of a language lab is to involve students in actively participating in language learning exercises and getting more practice time.
