The full-service Lone Star College–CyFair Language Laboratories promote the benefits of learning other languages and facilitate the teaching, acquisition, and maintenance of foreign language skills through the exploitation of technology. The labs also:
- allow students to practice auditory, oral, visual, gestural, and written language skills,
- supplement language classroom instruction,
- allow instructor guided language classes requiring technology, and
- serve as open labs for independent language practice.
The language labs (LRNC-210 & 212) provide to language students and instructors of Lone Star College–CyFair the hardware, software, and other relevant technology tools (training, online teaching support, A/V in many forms, recording services, etc.) to enhance and supplement acquisition and teaching of various languages. Of course, the labs are not designed to be the sole source of learning a language, but a special supplement for regular in-class work. During open lab hours, the labs should be regarded as independent study facilities which consist of individual multimedia computer work stations frequented by students between classes. All students currently enrolled in ASL, ESOL and world languages are encouraged and are always welcome to visit the labs during open lab hours to hone skills presented in the classroom. All inquiries can be directed to cflanguagelab@lonestar.edu or 281.290.5980.
