Language Lab Technology:

Any classroom can be instantly converted to a language classroom using Educational Media's unique tray design.

The language lab trays are easily stored near the ceiling and then lowered with the touch of a button at the teacher’s console.

How our lab works:

 The Educational Media Lab (sometimes called a learning lab or tray lab) includes a computer controlled teacher console and drop down overhead headset trays that are stored close to the ceiling. When the instructor wishes to use the lab, a click on the teacher screen will lower the student overhead trays to the students’ desk level. The students reach into the tray, remove their headsets, and lab work can begin. There is nothing to pass out and no classroom disturbances because students do not need to leave their seats. Standard configurations are for 24, 32, or 36 students.

What teachers like:

• Students can be paired or grouped according to competency,location, or activity
• Teachers can listen anonymously as students practice speaking the foreign language.
• Multiple students can be recorded at the same time for playback or burning to a CD.
•  Eliminates student peer pressure, as students are not required to recite lessons to the entire class.
