LAB INCHARGE (Name designation): Mrs. Sharon Fernandes e Menezes, Lecturer in English (Selection Grade)

LAB OBJECTIVE: – (Brief writeup on objectives considering the subjects in which practicals are done):

The main objectives of the Language Laboratory are:

  1. To meet the curricular demands of Communication skills and Business Communication for the students of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering.
  2. To prepare students for job interviews, public speaking, art of conversation, group discussion and debates, screening movies, motivational talks and discourses and creating mock situations to participate.
  3. To be an equal opportunity language learning platform for independent self-development in the language, such as listening and re-listeningto audio recording, testing themselves on grammar rules and practicing vocabulary using software or by login into language development sites.
