About the LLC

The Edwin C. Carpenter Language Learning Center is designed to help students in their acquisition of foreign languages and aid professors in their teaching. The LLC offers two types of teaching/learning environments:

• Foreign Language Labs
• Foreign Language Peer Learning Labs

The LLC has 57 multimedia computers networked into two foreign language computer classrooms.  Computer software in eight languages as well as Internet access and email facilities allow students access to some of the most advanced language learning aids in the world.

Students enrolled in elementary or intermediate level foreign language courses study for one hour per week in small groups with an upperclassman language student or native speaker in the Foreign Language Peer Learning Labs. These groups of 4-5 students work together for the entire semester, profiting from the valuable resources of native cultures and peer teaching and learning.

The Language Learning Center employs approximately 70 students per semester as lab Managers and foreign language Peer Teachers providing students with valuable skills and work experience.
