The Foreign Language department at Midway High School is extremely excited about their new language lab they received this year. Mrs. Landon, Department chair for foreign language, has more to say about the features of the lab;
The language lab has been a fabulous asset to the LOTE Department this fall! The students and teachers are all enamored by its tremendous capabilities! The students are able to talk to each other in groups or in pairs and the teacher has the ability to listen in and become a part of that conversation at any point! The students can be recorded, and these recordings can be used for both formative and summative assessment. Any curriculum website materials are accessible through the lab, and the on task engagement is amazing! Language learning acquisition is at our fingertips!
