Abstract

This article explores the configuration of a university foreign language lab given the dramatic changes in the last decade with regard to digital recording technology and the web as a basis for social networking. Resources and procedures are described for completing class assignments, making content available, carrying out assessment, including interactivity in fostering oral skills and assessment, and finally creating an exploratory and dynamic learning environment.
