Language Lab

About the Language Lab

Language students go often to the lab for learning practice in a friendly environment. Some written assignments and even tests which have an aural component are done in the lab.  The Language Lab is open to students on a drop-in basis, except for the conversation groups with monitors, which are by appointment. Monitors (senior students) are there to help you, not to grade you!

The Language Lab is located in Seton Academic Centre, room 333. It has 25 computers equipped with CD/DVD and Language Programs for student use, as well as a flat screen TV. The language lab supervisor is Enzo Le Doze.

  • Obtain info about the French Placement Test if you are new to our French program
