India: A lab to enhance language skills
India: Though not a conventional laboratory with scientific equipment and the like, the Language Laboratory at the Brihan Maharashtra College of Commerce (BMCC) is well equipped to impart language training, suggests the Times of India. Established in 2007, the laboratory teaches five languages-English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. The authorities now are looking at adding a few more languages.
The Principal of the college, Aniruddha Deshpande, states that while their written English is grammatically correct, students’ oral skills need improvement, he feels. “It is the era of globalisation and so fluency in spoken English is essential. Apart from this knowing foreign languages would increase their employment prospects.”
