The Language Laboratories were established in 1999 to complement the classroom learning
of the students by imparting communication and interpersonal skills. The Phonetics
Laboratory, set up on similar lines as the one in the Central Institute of English
and Foreign Languages (CIEFL), trains students in using and comprehending the nuances
of English speech as it is spoken by its native speakers.
In today's global village
it is difficult not to see the relevance of this skill. The course content in phonetics
contains graded aural exercises in pronunciation, stress and accent in the order
of word, sentence, and discourse levels. The course is so designed that students,
especially those who come from vernacular medium and have little exposure to conversing
in English, can proceed to learn it at their own pace and on their own, with minimum
assistance from the instructor.
