The LLC has thirty-three computers equipped with iSight camera (video camera),
headphones and microphones.
In the LLC, students can type
in both western and non-western languages. All the computers have a spell-checking
function for all available languages. Printed versions of foreign language dictionaries
are available in the Center. Handouts for typing accents are available in the
Center and on the LLC website.
The LLC has approximately 500
videos from all over the world. Students can watch them individually on each
computer station, in small groups on a TV with wireless headphones, or in class
with the projector. The projector is connected to a multi-standard VCR and a
DVD player so that videos from any region of the world can be played in the LLC.
Satellite TV programs in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish
are available via TV or the projector.
The LLC website has information
for the use of the Center and language learning. Audio and video
materials that accompany textbooks for foreign language classes are digitized
with permission from the publishers and are available on the LLC website.
The LLC is open to all students, faculty, and staff. The LLC is staffed for more than 80 hours per week during the school year. All Haverford faculty members can reserve the LLC for their classes, though priority is given to foreign language faculty.
