The campus currently has 2 computer laboratories. (The other one is in Aoi Hall) The computer laboratory in the Yamasa II building is located on the 4th floor. All of the computers are permanently connected to the Internet via Yamasa's LAN (local area network). It is also open on Saturdays and late into the evening on weekdays. Access to these computers and the internet is free, untimed and unrestricted. The laboratory is very large and well lit. Two of the walls have windows providing natural light.
The operating systems are Japanese and a range of educational software is available to support self-learning. All students can receive their own Yamasa email addresses - (a free service) and all students are able to communicate with friends or faculty in real time.
In addition to self-learning, the laboratory is also used as a classroom when teaching students how to use Japanese language software and when assisting students to make their own Japanese language homepages. Furthermore, as well as using Yamasa supplied PC's, students are able to connect their own computers to the network via LAN cards.
The Language Learning Corner has TV/Video and cassette players for improving comprehension. A video/audio cassette library is maintained by faculty members and students can borrow study materials to match their proficiency level.
Many students also have part-time work online or have special software requirements - Yamasa does everything possible to make things easier for them. For more information please read the internet connectivity file.
