Language lab

Language Lab @ KVS EMS – It is the best medium for speaking practice and students will be able to learn English effectively. In simple words, the language lab transforms a passive language class into an active speaking-based learning environment. This helps the language teachers to save a substantial amount of time and manage the language class more efficiently. For students this means that they can spend more time on speaking based activities and actually using the target language. This place gives space to the students to actively participate in language learning exercises and get more practice time than otherwise would be possible in a traditional classroom environment. The main benefit of a language lab is that it increases the time each student can spend actively speaking and practicing during the class. It has been noted that developing students’ oral proficiency and speaking fluency is a common problem in our formal language education.
