A new addition to Silver Lake this year is the Language Laboratory. The purpose of this laboratory is to improve Conversational French and Spanish. It is most valuable at the first year level, where the student is being introduced a new language. By being able to hear many types of voices as well as the instructors. The student has an opportunity to be introduced to the new language by sound in the same way that a child first learns to speak. The Laboratory consists of twenty soundproof booths, containing microphones and earphones, as well as volume controls. Six booths contain tape recorders on which ■■.:■■■ -■ -■ ' ■ ' ■ students may record their lessons to keep an accurate record of their mistakes and progress. The Lab is controlled from a console made up of a complete tape recording machine and a record player. Several different programs can be played simultaneously to suit the needs of students. In this way, each student may proceed at his own learning rate, without holding back the rest of the class, or being held back hjmself. It is hoped that through this new laboratory, all students will receive the best training possible in his chosen language. 13
