　　The Center supports the required English Listening and Comprehension course and the elective Advanced English Listening and Speaking Practice course, in addition to running the language practice labs and audio-visual facilities. The combined hardware on both campuses camprises ten language labs, two self-access learning labs, one projection room, and two recording rooms. The self-access learning labs are small audio-visual libraries for all faculty and students for checking out audio or video tapes or CDs to practice foreign languages. They have collections of English, Japanese, German, French and Spanish multi-media materials. The self-access learning labs on the Waishuanghsi Campus has a satellite TV reception system installed that can receive simultaneous on-line foreign language news, drama or other shows. In November 2001, the Downtown Campus also set up a satellite TV connection service through the Internet, offering multimedia modern and internationalized foreign language materials.

　　Beginning with the 2002-2003 academic year, to raise the students interest in learning foreign languages and provide more space for private foreign language study, on the one hand, in each semester separate English, Japanese and German private language study groups are organized and “Learn how to study a foreign language by yourself” activities are held, and on the other, language study guidance counselors are assigned to weekly come and supervise the students to help them, solve their problems, give demonstrations and give suggestions for further improvement in the language.
