New teaching versatility and ease of operation are yours in Language Lab We asked experienced language teachers what equipment they needed to achieve maximum effectiveness in their work. Then our electronic experts designed and built the G. E. C. Electrofonic Language Laboratory to the teachers' specifications. That's why it's more than a mere assembly of existing audio-visual equipment. It's a new, integrated design that provides a complete choice of functions to fit any teaching technique. Yet it has unprecedented simplicity of control. Schools using the Electrofonic Language Lab are enthusiastic about it. Here are some of the reasons why: EASIER TO OPERATE Simplified controls leave the teacher free to teach and the student free to learn. Both are relieved of undue preoccupation with mechanical problems. The teacher can play lesson tapes, monitor or talk to individual students, small groups or the entire class — all with fingertip controls that indicate settings clearly. The mechanical operations soon become automatic to both teacher and student. Simplicity makes it possible to use student assistance if desired. NO TAPE HANDLING PROBLEMS Instant tape handling is provided by the Electrofonic cartridge system.Threading is automatic when the cartridge is inserted in either the teacher console or student unit. There is never any rewinding. Tapes are automatically set for the beginning of the next lesson. Even new students can operate recording and tape playing equipment quickly, leaving more time for learning. Teachers find it easy to record and duplicate their own lesson tapes. HIGH FIDELITY Full range reproduction is important in foreign language learning. The Electrofonic system is "hifi" throughout, including student microphones and headsets. Students hear and learn to use all the overtones and fine shadings of tone that are preseni in accurate, native pronunciation of a foreigi language. LISTENING g I TUTORING RESPONDING RECORDING BY TEACHER COMPLETE TEACHING FLEXIBILITY Complete choice of teaching techniques is possibi with the Electrofonic Language Lab. Students mat listen, respond, and record. The teacher may pla any combination of lesson tapes to individual small groups or the entire class. The teacher ma silently monitor any student or group or may ta: with any combination of students. Teacher ar students can record easily. Student drill is simpl convenient and effective. 162 Educational Screen and Audiovisual Guide — April, V. ■ i
