students working in the language lab

The Cascade Language Lab is for currently enrolled Spanish and ESOL students. It is a great place for ESOL students to learn how to type and use computers, practice English pronunciation and grammar, do homework, check email and work on projects. In addition to software programs, there is a list of favorite websites available on every computer in the lab and a handout of useful ESOL internet sites.

When you come to the lab during open hours, please sign into Tutortrac on the back wall using your G number. Food, drinks, and children are not allowed in the lab.
