Language Lab Computers
New Canadians can access even more English language skills through our language labs, available at the City Centre branch of the Coquitlam Public Library.
Four language lab computers are available, and are equipped with headphones, microphones and software that will assist users to learn and develop their English language skills. The software is designed to help beginner, intermediate and advanced ESL speakers improve grammar, conversation and pronunciation skills, as well as learn vocabulary, idioms and language skills for the new TOEFL-IBT.
Language Lab computers are a free service and are available during regular library hours. Computers and headphones can be reserved at the circulation desk of either branch, in person or by telephone. If you are interested in learning more about the software available, or registering for a class visit, please contact Janice Williams, Adult Services Librarian, at 604-937-4140.
