Our film collection is also growing and now includes a number of DVD titles. Because of their lower cost and easier accessibility to various language tracks, we are now purchasing DVDs instead of videotapes. In order to facilitate the viewing of DVDs in the classroom, we have purchased several DVD players that may be checked out for classroom use. We have also communicated with those in charge of the podiums to inform them of our needs. Should you travel abroad, feel free to purchase DVDs from various countries as you will be able to play them on our region free DVD players.
Similar tools are also available to students of Spanish, German and Italian.
Students who are native speakers of Spanish represent the largest number of users of this dictionary as they prefer to work with monolingual dictionaries. All these tools are particularly helpful to third and fourth year language students who write papers for their literature courses. NJ Star Communicator is our latest acquisition for Chinese and Japanese. It allows users to input Chinese or Japanese characters in a Word Processor, web editor, web browser, or electronic mail. It would be best incorporated to second year German language courses.
