The Beloit campus creates an ideal environment for a language immersion program. Students interact primarily with others studying the same language in the classroom, residence hall, and dining hall. CLS students are housed by language group in Wood Hall and Haven Hall, superb, air-conditioned residence halls. Excellent study space is available in the newly renovated Colonel Robert H. Morse College Library.
Computers are widely available for student use on campus.
There are 18 student stations and two instructor stations, making it possible for a lab to be used in a library mode, or as an instructor-led classroom. The learning center software allows students to read web pages in Japanese and Chinese characters, as well as in Cyrillic letters. In addition, a Japanese editor is available on every computer and students have multilingual support in Microsoft Word. Through the learning center's Internet access, students can participate in online chat rooms with native speakers of their target language and listen to live radio broadcasts from foreign countries.
