Language Lab

WELCOME TO THE LANGUAGE LAB, HUSKIES!

The Language Lab is a space dedicated to all ELAC students (credit and Non-credit) with services that support and promote second language learning and global cultural awareness.  We strive to provide interactive and independent activities that fit each student's learning style and individual needs.

As language is a skill requiring continuous use, we offer in-person and online tutoring support and weekly workshops, web resources, and software to keep your practice continual.

Tutoring

Walk in or make an appointment (through the Penji app or directly from your Canvas page) for either a fifteen, twenty, forty, or sixty-minute session in all levels of English as a Second Language (ESL), American Sign Language (ASL), Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish. We have native speakers for Chinese, ESL, French, and Spanish tutoring.
