The Language Resource Area (LRA) offers support to the learning, teaching and research that takes place within the LCS department. The LRA works closely with the Language Support Unit (LSU) in assisting language students and the facility includes two computer labs specifically equipped for language teaching and learning, as well as a digital language lab.
The main hub of the LRA is its state-of-the-art Self-Access Centre, which contains many resources that help students improve their language skills. Serving the students are 13 student stations, each with a 19-inch LCD Monitor. These networked stations are controlled by thirteen Xantech CSPLCD39GW Commercial Touchscreen Displays, and the flow of information is facilitated by two Xantech RT16-10 Addressable IR Routers, each with its own additional CSPLCD39GW display.
