In an increasingly multilingual world, UW-Parkside
students now have a state-of-the-art language laboratory
to help them better understand the world. The university
recently dedicated the Darshan Dhaliwal Modern Languages
Laboratory in honor of Milwaukee businessman Darshan
Dhaliwal.
Long on the campus "wish list," the new
language laboratory features computer workstations
with headphone/microphone connectivity allowing interactive
small group and individual instruction. Students now
have access to a variety of language software including
CD-ROM based information, audio-visual applications,
and publisher-specific Internet sites.
The Dhaliwal Modern Languages Laboratory serves the
university's current 23 foreign languages courses.
It also can serve new courses in psycholinguistics,
teaching methods for foreign languages, distance education,
and languages not offered through regular classroom
instruction.
UW-Parkside Chancellor John Keating praised Dhaliwal
for funding the laboratory saying it "enhances
the university's mission" and positions UW-Parkside
"at the front of meeting global challenges and
opportunities."
The new facility is located in the Communication
Arts Building
