Century College Helps Immigrants With English As A Second Language Learning
There are more than 80 English as a second language programs within 20 miles of Minneapolis and of St. Paul, according to state figures. While many use tape recorders and even computers to help students learn to speak and read English, only Century College, the University of Minnesota and Minneapolis Community and Technical College have digital language labs that take learning a step further for students and teachers.
Gone are the days of students dictating sentences into reel-to-reel tape recorders and the teacher having to lug home dozens of tapes, said Kathy Matel, Century’s student success coordinator, who spent several years getting the lab off the ground.
