ilabALC offers all registered students free access to the Language Lab

Why?  ilab

Supplementary training in the Language Lab helps students improve considerably in the three key points for the development of listening skills:

Sound reproduction: The voice reproduces sounds perceived by the ears.

Sound articulation: As the listening skills improve, pronunciation skills naturally and unconsciously improve as well.

Durability: Repetition training in the Language Lab stimulates both memorization and automatic voicing of sounds.

Each language has its own dominant frequencies.

Comparing French with English, we see that they share no common dominant frequency. This explains in large part the difficulty of language acquisition.

Good listening skills are a determining factor in the success of your language study.

By focusing directly on listening, pronunciation and comprehension, training in the Language Lab stimulates your inner ear’s sense of perception.

The program is designed to provide the necessary language and communications skills in order to perform the professional tasks required in your chosen domain.

These courses address each of the four language components with the goal of developing your ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in written correspondence, using vocabulary adapted to your professional needs.

Based on authentic material relevant to each sector, these courses allow you to quickly assimilate the language needed for your professional activities.
