The Center for Foreign Languages
and Cultures (CFLAC) maintains a state-of-the-art
laboratory facility and media classroom, housing a
network of student workstations with integrated computer,
audio, and video components for the study of foreign
language, culture, and literature. In the Center,
students may explore a foreign culture with the aid of
interactive videodiscs and tapes, digitized audio and
video, and CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning)
programs.

Foreign Films:
Did you know that CFLAC has an extensive collection of foreign films? Check out materials (under support on the drop down menu) for a full listing. They must remain on reserve here, but are certainly worth watching! Call in advance to make sure the film you want isn’t being used by a class.

Student Development Area to open Fall 2002:
When CFLAC opens to students this fall it will house an area with six computers dedicated to student development work. When a student wishes to create a PowerPoint presentation, a digital slide tray, audio, video or image files, or even a fully interactive application this will be the place to come. Students will have access to scanners, a slide scanner, VCRs and an audio tape player. Students will be able to create electronic presentations and programs using tools like Adobe Acrobat, OmniPage, Photoshop, SoundRecorder, SoundEdit, iMovie, Cleaner, PowerPoint and Dreamweaver. Visit CFLAC in the basement of Wright Hall for more details.

Summer Projects '02:
Over the summer CFLAC staff is involved in a variety of projects including a German literary program based on the Goethe's poem Erlkönig, a web site on the Amazon, an extensive Art-History project on Colonial Latin America, an art program called "Thinking with a Line" geared toward preschool and elementary school teachers, and an application sharing the life experiences of a survivor of the Holocaust through his art work. Check out the Projects section of this site for more information.

New Server: CFLACMM:
In conjunction with Systems staff, CFLAC is working to bring up a new, more powerful server called CFLACMM for CFLAC Multimedia. This new server has more than four times the drive space, twice the memory and twice the processor speed of the current CFLAC server. It will allow us to support more simultaneous media intensive projects, provide drive space for the student development area, and continue to support the Center and electronic classroom.

Windows XP Upgrade:
The Windows XP operating system provides far better support for foreign languages than any of its predecessors. It allows full functionality in East Asian languages including left to right text and input methods for Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Once we have completed this upgrade we will no longer need to run third party software to support any of the languages taught at Smith.

Electronic Classroom Upgrade: Wright 233 currently houses 15 student Macintosh workstations and a presentation station. By Fall the student workstations will be replaced by Windows laptops. Moving to a laptop solution for W233 will allow us a greater degree of flexibility in the use of these machines. They will be part of a cart including wireless capabilities, hence giving us the potential for creating temporary electronic classrooms as needed.
