Using the Language Lab

The Palomar College World Languages Lab offers materials and resources to help students learn and practice the languages offered by the department. Resources available include audio activities, computer programs & CD-ROMs, language videos & films, dictionaries, texts and other study aids.

Students enrolled in a 5-unit language class, such as Spanish 101 or French 101, are required to do 16 hours of assignments over the course of the semester in the World Languages Lab.  Students work at their own pace to complete assignments designated by their instructor.  Assignments may include the use of listening activities, videos, language software, or completing web-based activities. 

Student lab hours are tracked throughout the semester and a report of the time and work completed is forwarded to the instructor.  Students are encouraged to use their Palomar Identification Card (PIC) to log in to the lab and to borrow materials.
