Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper presents some simple ways of teaching languages using the facilities of a typical language laboratory and discusses a sample of the software available for advanced researches in phonetics and phonology, as well as basic scientific and mathematical tools. The shortcomings of using the language laboratory and their solutions are also presented. The important roles of teachers and students’ expectations in the use of the language laboratory are also discussed. Using Microsoft Power Point, different practical exercises are developed with audio and video files to demonstrate that practical exercises are easier to learn using the laboratory. A questionnaire was designed to seek the opinion of students on the use of the laboratory and how beneficial it is to their learning. Results of the study revealed that students are positively disposed to the use of language labs since the digital environment is motivating and online help is readily available The finding of this research shows that those students taught in the language laboratory could realize the correct pitch better than those taught in the classroom.
