LANGUAGE LABORATORY
To develop the basic reading and writing skills of first year engineering and technology students. To help learners develop their listening skills, which will, enable them listen to lectures and comprehend them by asking questions, seeking clarifications. To help learners develop their speaking skills and speak fluently in real contexts. To help learners develop vocabulary of a general kind by developing their reading skills.
To be provide learners a sustainable access to self – instructional, multimedia, language learning software as a complementary to classroom teaching. Our aims to introduce learners, the sound of English, their symbol, word stress and intonation. It attempts to neutralize learner’s accent by drawing their attention to common errors made by speakers of Indian language with respect to sounds in English that are not found in their mother tongue.
