There are 2 computer laboratories on campus. One is in the Yamasa II building and the other in Aoi Hall. Both have
PC's permanently connected to the Internet via Yamasa's LAN (local
area network). They are also open on Saturdays and late into the evening on weekdays. Access to these computers and the
internet is free, untimed and unrestricted.
The operating systems are Japanese and a range of educational software is available to support self-learning. In addition to self-learning, the labs are also used as classrooms 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 Lab in the Yamasa II building has a Language Learning corner with 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.
