The
Yamada Language Center has a broad range of
resources available for language instruction.
Our knowledgeable staff can help you with study
materials—dictionaries, instructional books,
tapes, CDs, and DVDs—and with online materials.
Our technology-friendly facilities (wireless
access in every classroom) in Pacific Hall include:
- Four Media-Rich Classrooms -
Pacific 110, 111, 115 and 119 all
have excellent audio and video capability and
are Internet-ready (wired and wireless).
- A Computer Lab - The PAC 113 lab
has 21 Macintosh OS workstations, including
15 "hybrids" running Windows XP via Boot Camp.
The instructor's station has large screen projection
and excellent A/V. All lab computers are connected
via Remote Access for easy screen sharing and
other kinds of collaboration.
- The Shelley
L. Keithan Student Lounge (Rm
122) - This small group and
seminar room is a place where
students can meet to study, read foreign language
publications, and watch international TV or
movies. Self-study
courses often meet here, and instructors and students may reserve this
room for meetings.
- Two Large Classrooms - Pacific 119 and 115 are
excellent for classes which rely heavily on
audio and video. Large moveable tables (in
lieu of desks) make them especially good for
writing and oral presentation skills classes.
- Self-Access.
The Pacific 120 lab has 24 computer, audio
and video study workstations for independent
work. There's one dedicated station for video
editing and other multimedia work. All computers
are configured for multilingual work, many
have webcams.
- A la carte - The Yamada
Language Center has camcorders, digital cameras,
and cassette/CD/iPod
players that students
and faculty can check out. For classroom use or for presentations
in Pacific Hall we also have several media
carts with video projectors, laptops, and DVD/VCR
players.
- Computer Network Hub - Pacific 114B
is the home of all of Yamada's web servers
and the Virtual Language Lab. The
servers support databases and websites for
language departments and the Yamada Language
Center's own Internet outreach efforts, including
ANVILL, an attempt to extend state of-the-art
language services to K-12 schools.
