This article reports the results of a survey of student attitudes toward thelanguage lab at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The report notes that aninitial positive attitude toward the lab in the first semester becomes more negativeduring the second. The author suggests a need for new lab materials that maintain theinitial favorable attitude towards the lab.

When Rockford College needed a new language laboratory, it was necessary firstto decide how the lab was to be used and then how it was to operate. These decisionsdetermined the choice of equipment.

The subject of CALL has only recently been introduced to language teachers inWest Germany. While in other European countries many institutions are involved inprojects dealing with the use of computers in language learning. The Audio-VisualMedia Centre (AVMZ), Bergische Universitat-GH Wuppertal, 5600 Wuppertal 1, isone of the few places in this country investigating various approaches to CALL.This article describes the general concept of the project and the kind of programsbeing developed and used. Furthermore, it is intended to solicit comments fromscholars and institutions in the USA and thus established contacts and initiate anexchange of ideas.

No matter what the latest ideas on innovative uses of the language laboratory (ll), teachers working in the field can count on the fact that commercial LL materials they purchase will consist of traditional drill or artificial conversations. For those who have left behind the audio-lingual paradigm and are working toward the rationalist mode of facilitating language learning and developing a sense of community among the students, such work in the laboratory is not only meaningless but also damaging in that drills in booths work toward isolating the student from both the teacher and fellow students. The following materials were not originally designed for the purpose of utilizing a Ll; rather, the course was developed in accordance with the overall approach of a particular 1ntensive English program, and the Ll was brought in later as the best means to facilitate the implementation. However, the effectiveness and popularity of the course have proven that the LL is an indispensable component of t!-:e course and further, that any institution with an LL should consider developing such materials.
