The Language Lounge is a student space that supports group work, individual language practice, tutoring assistance, and communication. It also provides language students with access to various forms of media. It therefore features a DVD player, VCR, and a Google Chromebox that are available for student use and for student projects. Additionally, two 70" screens provide an immersive language environment designed to facilitate learning through international film, music, and news. The Lounge is also used as a space for department-wide events or talks.
Nebraska Interpreter and Translator Corps

The Nebraska Translator and Interpreter Corps (NETIC) is a partnership between the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, the Bureau of Sociological Research (BOSR) and the Nebraska community to provide quality and affordable translation and interpretation services, as well as to offer professional experience for graduate students in the Translation field. NETIC’s core idea is to create strong and dynamic connections between the Modern Languages and Literatures Department and the general community in the state of Nebraska.
Technology Classroom

The Technology Classroom is a language teaching resource that is equipped with ceiling microphones, speakers, web cameras, a projector, and two 70" screens. It can be used to connect with others across the world through video conferencing. But, with the projector, large screens, multiple speakers, and the ability to arrange desks in various different ways, this classroom really shines in creating a technology-infused and immersive space that is perfect for interactive activities and games, such as playing Kahoot! in language courses! We also have iPads available for student use in order to facilitate learner engagement.
