language laboratory
Audio learning room
A language laboratory is a classroom equipped with audio and recording technology where students practice speaking and listening in foreign languages.
Students typically work at individual stations with headphones, listening to native speakers and recording their own voices for comparison.
The format was especially popular in the mid-20th century; digital tools have largely replaced dedicated lab spaces.
