Lab and Placement Exams
The Modem Language (ML) Lab, located in Room B-206, oversees the weekly lab hour that is part of all elementary, intermediate, and heritage language classes. The ML Lab also provides language-tutoring and refresher sessions. In addition, the ML Lab offers Placement/Exemption Exams to students who are already familiar with any of the languages offered by the Modern Language Program.
What can you do in the Modern Language Lab? (during the COVID-19 PAUSE order)
- Tutoring: Individual and small-group tutoring is available online. Students enrolled in a language class can get help with homework, lab assignments, grammar, vocabulary, culture, presentations and quiz review. See below for the weekly Tutoring Schedule and instructions how to make an appointment with the tutor.
- Placement/Exemption Exams: Students proficient in a language other than English can earn three exemption credits by passing an intermediate-/advanced-level modern language class or a literature class. During the COVID-19 PAUSE order, students should use this self-assessment placement tool in lieu of the regular placement exam to identify an approprilate level of the modern language courses.
