This blog is part of my thinking activity. In this blog we see the Advantages & Disadvantages of Language Lab. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad, click here for Basic Information about Language Lab.
Advantages of
language Lab:
Students learn much
faster in the language lab
Practice leads to
language learning success! Language labs’ interactive courses help students learn much
faster than in a regular classroom setting.
The methodology of the classroom language network uses
a progressive model to promote natural learning, where students learn the
different concepts of language in an intuitive way.
The language lab boosts the motivation of students achieving higher levels of
language retention and progress.
A language
lab is practical
Learning a new language just
by studying the theory is not enough to guarantee a successful language
learning experience. Language labs provide practice in an
entertaining and interactive way to acquire the 4 main language skills: listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. Students
learn more comprehensively through a language lab, using more class time
instead to achieve these four main objectives:
Use more
resources and varied activities than in a traditional classroom
Language
labs allow students to practice the language with a much wider variety of activities and exercises based
on the computer. Learning occurs in a structured way,
in a real context and visually attractive way
that immerses the student in the language learning environment and promotes language
use. The students can watch videos, practice their pronunciation through
a speech recognizer, learn new vocabulary, and much more.
Students are free for learning
Disadvantages of
language Lab:
Pace
of change & cost
Not all
schools & University can keep up with the rapidly changing technology.
The language lab requires a high cost to be built in the university
and to be kept on going. It is very expensive to set up the language lab and
country like India there is no lab syllabus and usually language classes are
conducted as theory.
Distraction
Many
teachers believe that using Smart classroom, with internet connectivity and
text messaging services, can merely be a source of distraction for students as
opposed to a learning tool.
