The Language Labs at both the Des Plaines and Skokie campuses support students taking courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Urdu, and English as a Second Language (ESL). Services include audio and video stations for student use and multimedia PCs with Internet access. A library of ESL audio materials with books as well as a collection of modern language and ESL software are available. Conversation groups and workshops are offered, and lab personnel are available to assist with equipment and the selection of appropriate materials.
The labs are designed to be used primarily by students enrolled in Oakton credit courses; therefore, teachers and students in credit classes have priority access. On a space-available basis, students enrolled in Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL) courses or others interested in using the labs’ materials and facilities may be admitted.
