The Center includes a large multimedia facility/lecture hall, a lounge, a library, a lab and a multimedia classroom. The space is designed so that students are afforded ample opportunity to practice the foreign language being studied through films, audio and video programs, and lots of interactive computer language-applications available to individual students and classes.
