    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 pandemic remote semesters)

    • 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.

    Tutoring (during the distance learning mode)

    • All tutoring sessions are conducted online during the distance learning mode in Fall 2021. Tutors uses different tutoring platforms, but many use Zoom or Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.

    • The online tutoring sessions are delivered individually or in a small group.
    • You will need to make an appointment through MyLaGuardia and selecting the language you are studying in Tutoring Services. Have your professor's name and course code handy to input on the appointment form.

    The Lab Hour (during the distance learning mode)

    • All lab sessions of the modern language courses are conducted online during the COVID-19 PAUSE order. The lab constitutes 10% of the student's final grade.
    • The online lab sessions are delivered either synchronously (in a group at the given day and time) or asynchronously (individually at any time). Each language uses different lab platforms, but many use the textbook companion website and/or Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.
