Proposal on the language lab layout
The benefit of CALL System exists in its interactivity between a teacher and students
in the class room.
To maximize and leverage the benefit, we would like to propose the language lab
room would be where
teachers desk is in front of the students where eye-contacts can be made during the class.
the projection screen is beside the teachers desk where students can naturally gaze at.
Although carrel desks are good for self-study, using open desks without high sides can be an
option to assure interactive visibility.
