The Foreign Language Resource Collection

The Foreign Language Resource Collection is an integral part of language teaching at KSU. Its purpose is to expose students to a more vivid language experience by listening to different voices and accents and to foster interpersonal exchange in order to assist students in acquiring and improving their foreign language skills. This will increase their ability to understand and recognize many different cultures and dialects. Learning a language is no longer passive, and all these skills can be practiced in the Foreign Language Resource Collection.

The Foreign Language Resource Collection may be used as:

• A classroom
• A resource center where students have access to diversified learning material that may be used at their own pace
• A facility to access foreign language software and web resources
• A learning environment for working with a tutor or with lab materials provided

Objectives:

• To enhance speaking ability
• To enhance comprehension
• To review and to reinforce concepts introduced in class
• To help students who have difficulties understanding foreign language material
