'Learning Today
Learning Tomorrow'
English language has spread all over the world. As a result it is necessary to learn it. This is an era of technology and to teach or learn English language, people are working hard. Since the 90s people have been working behind a language Lab, which helps to learn/teach English Language effectively and creatively. It based on four basic skills to learn any language,
Listening
Speaking
Reading
Writing
Language learning is not the same as learning any other subject. It is not confined to writing an examination and getting a degree or award. The four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking have to be practiced. Being able to communicate well is the most important factor when seeking a placement in a company or institution. Communication involves one’s ability to listen carefully so as to grasp the meaning and to respond in turn with apt words and clarity of pronunciation.
The Need for a Language Laboratory
It is required of any learner to have a good command of the language for communication purposes, with clarity and accuracy being vital for effective and efficient communication. What helps one to acquire such proficiency in a language is the process and the method of learning that language.
