A specially equipped school or library room for teaching foreign languages. Often designed with a teacher’s console at one end, the laboratories are made up of rows of contiguous study CARRELS, each equipped with any of a wide variety of audiovisual equipment to facilitate teaching and learning. Students at each carrel use headsets and keyboards or a computer “mouse” to listen and/or watch recorded lessons, to which they are expected to respond and then hear and compare their responses with correct versions. From the console, teachers can monitor and, when necessary, intervene in each student’s lesson.
