Since our language lab is relatively small, it is easier for both the student and the personnel to advise about the language and the chapter they need material for. All codes on the tapes, whether video or audio, are more useful when students request a duplicate of the material at the Audio-Visual Media Center. All the materials are resource material for all students and must remain available at all times. Each working station is numbered from left to right per row. Each station has a cassette recorder, a video-monitor and a headset.
All cassette recorders control the volume for both video and audio.
The master-volume is intended to provide the student with a clear sound of the material. The student-volume is intended for students to record their voices and to hear the instructor when necessary. Perhaps the most useful feature cassette recorders have in the lab is the bookmark. It provides an easy reference tool for students to mark the beginning, the end, or any particular part of an exercise. Four sections may be marked with bookmarks.
