How do we know that having a Language lab as an addition o complement to the class helps students to improve learning a second language? Is there any research about this, or statistics? Almost every school and university has a language lab.? What empirical research does it prove to help acquiring a language using a lab? thanks very much for any link, site, books, paper, etc... related to this particular issue. I am in charged of the English Area at the school of Engineering, Universidad de Chile. Vice-Deen wants to know why should they invest in a Language lab. instead of a physics one, o chemistry one. What is the added value of a lab for EFL/ESL students...anything scientific and factual about this topic? Thanks very much for any hints on this topic Sonia Bascur [log in to unmask]
