The Chanin Language Center is a multi-media foreign language learning and teaching facility. The Center consists of two independent study labs equipped with 72 multi-media workstations, the Cecile Insdorf Foreign Language Screening Room, and a small library where walk-in tutoring sessions take place. Students can supplement their foreign language skills from the elementary to the advanced level by working with computer applications, both on-line and in house, based on textbooks and/or student activity manuals. The Chanin Center also houses an extensive collection of foreign language films and video programs. An audio CD home borrowing program is available to students enrolled in certain foreign language courses. A 30-minute orientation session is required for all first time users. Hours and additional information can be found on our Web site.
