8. Other Activities

9. Student involvement
Students play a key role in reviewing
and updating the learning resources
and study spaces of the Multimedia
Centre. We regularly collect their
feedback and encourage them to sit on
the Committee to take part in staff-
student projects focused on the
ongoing improvement of the Centre.

10. A multimedia language
center is a very useful way
to learn another language
because you have all the
tools and technology at
reach and it is easy for you
to learn by a lot of different
methods and in a more
interactive way by listen to
songs, watch movies, or
videos, by talking with your
classmates, by doing online
research, etc.

11. it is a great tool but it is also a
great responsibility because it
is expensive equipment and
for you as a teacher you are
responsible for all the
equipment and if something
breaks or damages it's your
responsibility so you have to
be careful.

12. it is also easy for the teacher to teach a language
in a multimedia center because you got the
facilities and the tools and technology to make
easier and interactive activities for your
students.

13. to manage a multimedia language center it is important to know to use the
equipment, and also you have to be familiar with the different software that
exists nowadays because if you don't know how to use the equipment you
will lose time and you can get to damage the equipment.

14. also you have to be in control of the
students because it is easy to get
distracted with a computer in front of
them so you may get to install a safe net
to avoid distractions like unwanted
websites or anything else.

15. Some of the things that you can do if you are teaching in
a language multimedia center is to have your activities
ready at time to not waste any time and also you can
recycle your activities with other students!
